I got this one pinged by friend Andrew Berglund, at first sight maybe a bit off-topic from mobile but then again, the iPhone has already some of the multi-touch screen technology integrated… Anyway, this is definately some of the best I have seen lately in technology innovation so I want to share this with you.

Check this YouTube demo below from Perceptive Pixel, the company was founded by Jeff Han in 2006 as a spinoff of the NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences to develop and market the most advanced multi-touch system in the world.

More YouTube demo’s from Jeff Han here.

Here below an interactive screen demo of partyStrands application taken at La Botellita - Serrano in Madrid last Thursday.

1. see who/what is playing
2. incoming user request (through SMS) influencing music with artist (x)
3. recommendations of similar style music
4. users in the waiting queue
5. another incoming influencing music request
6. user chat screen (cut)

Below a screenshot of the BAR page at the partyStrands web-app. NOTE that everything is completely LIVE (at partystrands.com)

An easy URL is created for every BAR member within the partyStrands network.

The BAR page includes:

• bar logo
• contact details
• location info
• news from the bar/club
• a partygoers FORUM
• pictures from the club and its’ parties
• a list of users currently present in the club (and online)
• recently played songs
• most played artists

To me it looks like an excellent blog-page for bars with an interactive jukebox included

BAR owners and affiliates can now easily subscribe, create their partyStrands page and signup to tryout the partyStrands application in their bar. Currently only available in Spain, partyStrands will become available in other countries soon.
