Oblong's g-speak Brings "Minority Report" Interface To Life

Posted by timothy on from the staged-mock-up-or-real-time-control? dept.

tracheopterix writes "Oblong Industries, a startup based in LA has unveiled g-speak, an operational version of the notable interface from Minority Report. One of Oblong's founders served as science and technology adviser for the film; the interface was an extension of his doctoral work at the MIT Media Lab. Oblong calls g-speak a 'spatial operating environment' and adds that 'the SOE's combination of gestural i/o, recombinant networking, and real-world pixels brings the first major step in computer interface since 1984.'" The video shown on Oblong's front page is an impressive demo.

    I love niggers. If you think it's wrong to say you love niggers, it is because of racism!
