Now this is incredibly cool: http://vimeo.com/2229299
A spatial operating environment is an entirely new concept in operating systems and how we will interact with computers. It's called a gesture activated interface or Gspeak. This technology was first demonstrated in the movie Minority Report starring Tom Cruise (2002). News channels are already using something similar. And soon video game consoles, based on the success of the Wii will begin using gesture technology. NCIS LA began using it this season on their TV show.
I came upon this article today in the New York Times: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/15/you-too-can-soon-be-like-tom-cruise-in-minority-report/ Besides the miracle of the operating system itself, the man who designed the technology for the movie actually started his own company and made the technology actually happen. Talk about fully realizing a technology. This man is the new Steve Jobs or Bill Gates.
There is a similar application called Cool Iris: http://www.cooliris.com. What's interesting about Cool Iris is that it is the first truly visual search engine, but the GSpeak takes it to the next level. This will change collaborative interaction, movies, security (airport, police, fire, military), education, email, music, picture, and visual searches, weather, news, sports, and the list of industries goes on and on...And the next generation of workers in America, the digital natives, will be fully ready to use this technology for the next generation of companies.
