A Wider Net

Look what popped up at Neiman Marcus: Jeff Han’s Interactive Touch Media Wall, from his company Perceptive Pixel. Prices start at $100,000.

This reminds me of the days when Sears used to sell cars in their catalog, along with underwear, blenders, shingles, and radios. Perhaps Neiman Marcus has identified a mass market for ultra-high-end interactive walls?

Regardless, I’m delighted to see it there, because it may mean we’re a little closer to being able to get one into our clients hands. Since Microsoft has declined to sell Surface (a product reported to be designed by Jeff Han’s group) to anyone but a select group of launch partners for now, this appears to be the best opportunity to sign up for one for your trade show exhibit, lobby, demo room, or museum.

While you’re shopping for six-figure interactive media walls, be sure to add slippers , sunglasses, and a fine carpet to stand on while you use it.

Oh, and the interactive media wall apparently qualifies for free shipping. Hold them to it.
