G-Speak Technology; Mind-boggling!!!

One of the most intriguing websites that I’ve came across is www.oblong.com. Oblong is a computer research group that is made up of scientists and engineers stationed at laboratories located in Los Angeles and Barcelona, Spain. Their new ground breaking technology is g-speak. It creates a unique spatial operating environment in which the computer user gestures his intent instead of using a mouse or keyboard. It totally neglects the traditional GUI and imposes a completely futuristic approach of interacting with your computer. This innovative g-speak technology was imitated in the Hollywood blockbuster “Minority Report,” whose characters performed forensic analysis using massive, gesturally driven displays. The movie used one of Oblong’s founders as a science advisor, who based the design of those scenes on his earlier work at MIT. G-speak technology will fundamentally change the way people use machines in all facets of their life.

I think G-speak is sick in a good way LOL. I also saw Minorty Report which was an excellent movie and I remember that segment with the gesturing of the hand movements. I didn't know the extent of how present it was based on out time though, cool post.
