The work of Jeff Han

I came across the web page of Jeff Han, a consultant at the Department of Computer Science at New York University, and was quite impressed with some of the creations. This might not sound impressive at first, but have a look at his work:

I particularly liked the videos of the "media mirror" and "Multi-Touch Interaction Research."

It seems that MacRumors.com has noticed Jeff Han's work too, and they are drawing parallels with Apple's potential interest in multi-touch screens.

Its certainly a fascinating video, though it would probably be best for clarity to describe it as being about touch screen interfaces that recognise multiple touches.

Also, nobody has mentioned any source for this news that Apple is looking into this at all. I have seen some of the NYU stuff before, and have seen the SmartBoards as well as a music controller for DJs that uses the technology. Have you got a link to the patent?

I read about this in a Mac Observer article a few weeks ago. They have a link to Apple's patent info.

It is work by a guy called Jeff Han, and some of his videos are amazing. I posted in The Cafe about it the other day. You might want to have a look at:

http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=268343

There are links to more videos there, particularly the "Media Mirror."
