Minority Report’s Display Tech Has Finally Arrived


When Philip K. Dick’s novel Minority Report became a Hollywood smash, every geek in the world started pining for their own 3-D, glove-operated screen. Now, thanks to Oblong Industries, it’s an awesome reality.

It’s called the G-Speak Spatial Operating Environment (SOE) and it’s designed as a direct port of the Minority Report kit.

The demo video shows a gloved user standing in front of five wall-mounted screens and one enormous PixelSense-style table. We’re shown how the gloved user drags, pushes, swipes and draws around the screen in three dimensions.

It’s fluid, it’s smooth, it’s intelligent and I want it in my life. [BGR]
