g-speak overview 1828121108 from john underkoffler on Vimeo.
If you’ve ever seen the movie Minority Report, you’ll know that Tom Cruise’s character makes use of a very neat interactive computer setup to help him figure out when and where crimes are going to happen.
Over the years, I’ve come across a couple of companies hoping to emulate the same computer experience, but none so far have been successful in matching the look of the computer in the film.
As it turns out, one of the advisers to Minority Report are also the founders of the incredible project in the video above from Oblong Industries. The operating system above is called G-speak and it fully immerses the user into the computer environment by making use of real-world space and geometry. The result so far looks beautiful and extremely fluid, but who knows when this will be available as a consumer product.
In case you forgot what the computer looked like in Minority Report, here’s a video of it below.
