John Underkolffler Demonstrates G-Speak-collaborative, multi-display interaction (TED Talk Video by John Underkloffer, Minority Report science advisor)

John Underkloffer Points to the Future of UI (User Interface)


"Minority Report science adviser and inventor John Underkoffler demos g-speak -- the real-life version of the film's eye-popping, tai chi-meets-cyberspace computer interface. Is this how tomorrow's computers will be controlled?"

In this video, technologies that have been around for 10-15 years are demonstrated, along with newer user interface interaction, navigation, manipulation, and analysis techniques. Includes 3D interaction as well as collaborative, multi-display interaction.


"Media should be accessible, in fine grained form."

UPDATED iRiS: iPhone Remote Interaction System: Paint a multi-media facade on your favorite building! via Johannes Schoning (updated with links)

"We used Touch Projector to paint on a multimedia facade (here: Ars Electronica Center, Linz, Austria). Users simply aim their device at the facade causing the viewfinder to show the facade locally. In this local image, users can now draw with the selected color. The building then changes its color accordingly as if users directly painted on it."
