If you don't know who Jeff Han is by now, then listen up! Named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2008, Jeff is on a mission to change your relationship with your computer — in a very good way. Jeff was one of the guest speakers at this year's keynote address at the NVISION 08 Conference in San Jose, CA, and spent some time showing off his uber-cool touch screen technology to the audience.

Originally unveiling his work back in 2007, Jeff is the founder of Perceptive Pixel and has been a trailblazer in multi-touch technology with clients ranging from the CIA to CNN. His work with touch technology has produced something totally reminiscent of that scene in Minority Report where Tom Cruise is fiddling around in midair on his holographic computer screen! Check out the video above. It's about three minutes long, but totally worth it!

WOW - that's amazing!!!
1I remember a saying from computer science class that great technology is like magic. This really shows that point. I look forward to multi-touch being widely available on holographic screens... heehee. Who knows, it might happen within my lifetime - who would have known there'll be mass production of touchscreen phones ten years ago when people were still using pagers?
These are exciting times we live in.
2I would like to know if this touch screen tech is available to the public.Does it have to be programmed? Where can I get more information on this subject?How is the screen projected in air as in James Bond movie and Minority Report?
