G-Speak Spatial Operating Environment
Okay, that title did not give it away if you have not heard of it yet… But if you have seen the fancy hand movements of Mr. Killing-Oprah\’s-Couch Tom Cruise in the movie Minority Report, then what you see below will do ring a bell.
As it appears, the Chief Scientist of the company who actually makes this friggin funky stuff, Mr. John Underkofffler (what\’s in a name), was the science advisor during the making of Minority Report.
The company, called Oblong Industries, Inc, describes its product as follows:
The SOE\’s combination of gestural i/o, recombinant networking, and real-world pixels brings the first major step in computer interface since 1984; starting today, g-speak will fundamentally change the way people use machines at work, in the living room, in conference rooms, in vehicles. The g-speak platform is a complete application development and execution environment that redresses the dire constriction of human intent imposed by traditional GUIs. Its idiom of spatial immediacy and information responsive to real-world geometry enables a necessary new kind of work: data-intensive, embodied, real-time, predicated on universal human expertise.
While this explanation might not give you all the clues you need to understand… you better watch the video:
Very impressive and a very dynamic way of handling data. What do you think? Is this the future?
