A platform -- hardware and software -- for building and using applications that combine:

* finely calibrated, free-hand gestural input and output
* multi-core, multi-screen and multi-machine application programming libraries and patterns
* real-space representation of all input objects and on-screen constructs

g-speak - minority report os demo


If youve been waiting for that Minority Report-style interface to really come to fruition, you can finally exhale. One of the science advisors from the Steven Spielberg film has created a real-world implementation of the computer systems seen in the film. Dubbed g-speak, the mind bending OS combines gestural i/o, recombinant networking, and real-world pixels, to deliver what the creators call the first major step in [a] computer interface since 1984.

The G-Speak system basically "consists of an off-the-shelf DLP projector and special gloves embedded with reflective beads."

Oblong Industries is the developer of the g-speak spatial operating environment.
Some of the SOE's core ideas are already familiar from the film Minority Report, whose characters performed forensic analysis using massive, gesturally driven displays.
