The Genius Behind Minority Report's Interfaces Resurfaces, With Mind-blowing New Tech

It's a cliche to say that Minority Report-style interfaces are just around the corner. But not when John Underkoffler is involved. As tech advistor on the film, he was the guy whose work actually inspired the interfaces that Tom Cruise used. The real-life system he's been developing, called g-speak, is unbelievable.

We've previously covered Underkoffler and his startup, Oblong, but in February, he unveiled his latest work at TED. The video was just recently put online. And. It. Will. Blow. Your. Mind.

The video is 15 minutes long, but fast forward to 6:30 if you want to zip straight to the trippy stuff.
