Tired of sitting in front of your computer while the low radiation gently massages your brain into a meat smoothie? Well kiss your old desktop goodbye and get ready for a shiny new pair of MJ gloves and parking outside the garage permanently. This new GUI or Graphical User Interface to those of us that don’t play world of Warcraft, was created by the good people at Oblong Industries, and dubs itself “G-speak”. Touting itself as the first new innovation in a user interface since 1984 G-speak amazed the crowd at the 2010 TED conference. The innovators at Oblong Industries do not deny the similarities to Tom Cruise’s computer interface in the movie Minority Report, and in fact “Oblong’s founders served as science advisor to Minority Report and based the design of those scenes directly on his earlier work at MIT.” (via: Oblong) Regardless, technology has once again proven itself as the only true 100% effective contraceptive and I look forward to the ways this technology will be perverted by the masses.
In a side note the precursor to this device was the G-stalt, which showcased in the video above, allowed the user to use an over-complicated strategy that most 5 year olds adopt when looking through a pile of organized pictures. Making a big mess and then moving their hands through it and occasionally attempting to eat pictures of ice cream.
