Submission + - Oblong's g-speak is straight from Minority Report (oblong.com)
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". This challenge to the graphical user interface paradigm comes less than a month before the 40th anniversary of the mother of all demos, when Douglas Engelbart first presented the mouse to the world."
