Our fascination with multitouch is fairly well known, but it expands even even more to cover all sorts of man device interaction. Embedded above is a tech demo of g-speak, a spatial operating environment. The user combines gestures and spatial location to interact with on screen objects. If it seems familiar, it’s because one of the company’s founders recommended on Minority Report. We doubt all this hand waving is going to catch on very rapidly though. Our bet is on someone developing a multitouch Cintiq style device for people to use as a secondary monitor. It would bridge the gap between between our standard 2D interactions and gestures without making a full leap to 3D metaphors.
