Innovators - Turning Point
It's a grand vision: Oblong Industries founders John Underkoffler and Kwindla Kramer want to render the mouse obsolete. Underkoffler, the science adviser to the film Minority Report, is developing gesture-based technology in real life. In addition to highlighting the amazing stuff the gang at Oblong is doing, the show takes you through the history of how the innovation that is called Oblong’s g-speak Spatial Operating Environment was created. As part of this, you get to see some pictures of John Underkoffler 20 years ago in the Media Lab working on the Luminous Room along with some background on John’s work on the movie Minority Report.
