GearLog was my introduction to Perceptive Pixel, www.perceptivepixel.com the New York based company behind CNN’s large flat-panel monitor used for displaying election results by states, real time and graphically.
A Google search indicates the broad coverage Perceptive Pixel’s technology received from the New York Times to Broadcast Engineering to Wired and CNet. The CNET article reveals Perceptive Pixel’s collaborative visual data display technology was never intended for broadcasting use. Rather:
“The applications for Perceptive Pixel’s technology run the gamut–from defense and government to private companies–depending upon how the software toolkit is used. The TV news applications are actually a small fraction of the current uses, Han said, although they are the most challenging and have the highest visibility.”
Gearlog explains “..these are organizations with vast amounts of data that needs to be displayed, interpreted and understood quickly.”
Reading about Perceptive Pixel’s “Magic Wall” technology and it’s early adoption by the defense industry I wondered what other uses will emerge? Can you see applications in your organization, and if so, how long do you imagine before such technology will be implemented?
