Minority report OS



Remember the Minority report? Remember that awesome PC that Tom Cruise uses with his hands?

It's available for purchase according to Engadget:

One of the science advisors from the Steven Spielberg film -- along with a team of other zany visionaries -- has created an honest-to-goodness, real-world implementation of the computer systems seen in the movie. Dubbed g-speak, the mind bending OS combines "gestural i/o, recombinant networking, and real-world pixels," to deliver what the creators call "the first major step in [a] computer interface since 1984."

Amazing technology. Sign me up... Where do I stand to start waiting in line?

According to Joystiq this was actually a prototype before the movie. Yes, you are reading that article correctly. The movie actually used a working prototype.

you've probably never heard the name John Underkoffler before ... but you've definitely seen his work. Remember the computer Tom Cruise uses by waving his hands around in Minority Report? He designed that. And it wasn't just faked together for the movie, Underkoffler had a working prototype at MIT before that

When you are done watching this ... Let's work together to find a place to purchase it!!!
