g-speak

To introduce something as revolutionary as g-speak, one would have to see it in action to believe it!  To tackle the task of introducing this technology to others, I would first explain that g-speak, made by oblong industries, is an interactive spacial operating system.  g(which stands for gesture)-speak, allows users to control the computer with their hands.  Special gloves, in which they hope to be able to dissolve as technology progresses, act as a mouse, joystick, or other control.  With g-speak an image can me moved, manipulated, and controlled between different screens.  Once I introduced g-speak to the audience, I would then show the following videos of the device featured in Minority Report, a major film released in 2002, and a corporate video from Oblong Industries, the company that makes g-speak.

After showing the video, I would then demonstrate with the actual technology teaching basic hand gesture controls in the g-speak system.  After explaining what the technology is, seeing it in video, and seeing it in real life, I would finally assist learners in using g-speak for themselves.  At the conclusion of the presentation, I would ask for questions and give out my contact information for questions they may have later.  I would also follow up in about a week to make sure everything was going smoothly.
