Perceptive Pixel has created the largest touchscreen display in the world.
Earlier, at some events, larger touchscreens were demonstrated, but these were systems of projectors, infrared sensors and other modules. And what Perceptive Pixel created is the display, with a diagonal of 82 inches. Of course, for the home such a display is hardly suitable, but for the needs of some companies - the most it. The company's management believes that such giants can be useful for corporate meeting rooms, as well as for student audiences and school classes (as for schools, they are too much, one exact ball hit, and the school gets poorer by many, many thousands of dollars).
By the way, the usual non-touch display from Samsung is used as the basis (if displays with a diagonal of 82 inches can be called “ordinary”). The company Perceptive Pixel installs its own sensor system, which turns the “TV” into a sensitive display. The screen resolution in this case is 1920x1080. Response time <1 ms.

As for the price, of course, it is very high. For this device, with a diagonal of 82 inches, the company Perceptive Pixel asks 120 thousand dollars. For those who do not have 120 thousand who do not need such a huge display, Perceptive Pixel offers a smaller model, with a diagonal of only 27 inches and cost 12 thousand dollars.
The company's management also reported that soon such displays will cost much less than they do now. And thanks to the cheaper technology, and thanks to the beginning of the mass production of such devices. So let's hope that by 2015, “every family has an 82-inch touchscreen display.” But if no joke, the device is really interesting.
