Oblong -- human-computer interaction

These guys did the screen technology stuff that was in the movie, Minority Report, and I wouldn't doubt it if they eventually reinvented human-computer interaction as we know it, although it'd be expensive as limos.

Watching their introduction presentation is pretty cool.

Yeah who wants a mouse and keyboard when you can stand up and make large sweeping motions and individually drag over the letters you want to type. At least Kinect has a potential with dance, fitness and porn games. This is just stupid.

Like, something gimmicky, just for the rich people and business executives that want something new to play with?
