Solve : Tech Watch: The Minority Report Computer Is Real?

Answer»
Prepare to be amazed. A group of visionaries has created a real-world, working version of the big-screen GESTURAL interface that NERDS everywhere drooled over in the 2002 Tom Cruise film.

If you saw Minority Report, you probably saw the multi-screen, gesture-based interface that Tom Cruise uses to pull up police files and though, “That's cool. But I'll never live to see that thing invented.” Then you might have seen Microsoft demo its Surface operating system, and thought that's as close as the world would ever get to intuitive, mouse-and-keyboard-free computing.

Well, you'd be wrong on both counts. Not only does the interface of the future exist, but after several years of development, it's entering commercial form. Sure, you'll probably never live to see it put to use in local law enforcement - even the FBI has famously outdated computers - but someday, the local fuzz might get their hands on G-speak: a “spatial operating environment.”

Heck...put an addition on the house.If I had a basement, I'd fill it with water and train belugas in the black arts.

I'd also run a senior aquatic fitness center. Do you think seniors and belugas would get along?


In any case- very NEAT- I had heard of a few EXPENSIVE DEVICES that read brain waves- for such things as mouse movement... but nothing like this.
