Microsoft to Acquire Perceptive Pixel, Inc

摘要

In early July, Microsoft and multi-touch display company Perceptive Pixel, Inc. (PPI) announced that Microsoft would acquire PPI under terms not yet disclosed. Perceptive Pixel was founded in 2006, and shipped its first products - multi-touch workstations and large wall displays - in early 2007. As has been reported elsewhere, the giant touch displays first came to widespread notice when they were used by CNN and other television networks for coverage of the 2008 U.S. presidential election. This year, PPI's 82-in. projected-capacitive (pro-cap) LCD with multi-touch and stylus input received a Silver Award in the category of Display Application of the Year from the Society for Information Display.
