Science Fiction to Science Fact - G-Speak
Remember how Tom Cruise navigated the "special computer interface" which would tell him the future crimes? Well, the future telling machine is not yet invented, but the hand/glove based navigation system is out. Mouse was the key to the computer revolution in the past century. However, more and more researchers are experimenting with finger navigation systems which turns the users' hands into a complex input device. G-Speak seems to be one of the pioneers in the field. John Underkoffler is the chief scientist behind the G-Speak OS development. Using special Input/Output bulbs, the computer may detect the movement from the specially made gloves hence execute certain command in the computer. I think this is going to emerge with the 3D virtual world project in the near future. Because once a new input device being widely adopted, new user interfaces will be followed. The current 2D based web simply won't cut it.
