The Interactive Display Revolution

David Slobodin
Vice President of Hardware Products

Abstract: We are now in the midst of a historic technology transition as display devices become increasingly interactive, and new powerful interactive hardware and software technologies make their way into everyday use. Multi-touch and multi-mode technologies offer more intuitive, effective, and fun ways of interacting with computing devices, and the combination of these new user interfaces and today’s high-performance computing platforms has the potential to significantly enhance user experience and productivity in a most markets. However, much work remains on both hardware and software to realize this potential. We will review interactive display technologies and interesting recent developments, explore the technical and business implications, and attempt to separate the reality from the hype. Along the way, we will identify key technical and business challenges, and interesting opportunities for developers.
