Perceptive Pixel: Update

I'm very late to this. When I first heard about Perceptive Pixel, I was very excited. Several videos of the very slick, very fun wall-mounted multi-touch based interface zipped around the blogosphere last year. But then there didn't seem to be much going on. Meanwhile, a number of companies started popularizing some of the elements of that interface, Apple with the iPhone (multi-touch), and Microsoft with the surface computer to name two obvious examples.

It turns out that Perceptive Pixel were in fact deploying their product. I don't watch broadcast tv so I had missed the fact that it was being used as a differentiator in discussing the primary elections in the US.

Here's an example.

If anything, this seems more inconvenient than the usual methods of highlighting stuff. Screen is shown from an angle and light reflects off of it, so pictures in particular are very hard to see clearly. And the map highlighting would be much more informative if states were highlighted the usual way, snown straight up and without the talking head in the already low resolution frame. But they seem to be having fun with it and if people are buying, more power to them.
