Episode title: Treadle & Loam, Provisioners (LLC) with John UnderkofflerInterviewer: Bradley Caro CookInterviewee: John Underkoffler In this Career Up Now Socially Distanced Close-Up podcast Bradley Caro Cook interviews John Underkoffler, Principal at Treadle & Loam, Provisioners (LLC). He is also the curator of the extensive Museum of Arts and design, the director of Looking Glass Factory, and the E14 Fund. For John, everything started with the idea of having a user interface that would take our thoughts and visualize them. Luckily, he got the opportunity to depict the concept via the movie "Minority Report."Soon enough, he was getting invitations from various individuals to continue with his mission. John believes that each one of us should find the source of our confidence. He says that you will be tested a lot so look for the small core of unassailable things for you. Let's join John Underkoffler and our host Bradley Caro Cook for this mesmerizing conversation.

John Underkoffler is a founder and ex-CEO of Oblong Industries, an award-winning maker of multi-stream, gesture-based collaboration solutions. Oblong's technological expertise built on 10 years of his work at the MIT Media Lab. John also was a science advisor to blockbusters including Iron Man, The Hulk, and Minority Report. In this episode, John describes the early days of Oblong Industries, shares his opinion on the impediments for big ideas in a current startup ecosystem, talks about the future breakthrough of UI, and explains who would be responsible for the disruption in the UI space.

“I think that done properly, collaboration will come to be understood not just as an application or an app that you boot up for those five minutes when you need to use it, but a fundamental property of computation itself.” — John Underkoffler John Underkoffler, CEO of Oblong Industries, has developed a new way to share ideas online with the Mezzanine platform, Oblong’s flagship product suite that is effectively the world’s first multi-user computer. Mezzanine allows for multi-content, multi-stream, and multi-user experiences, or as John likes to describe it, “getting visual ideas out of people’s individual devices and onto a screen where everyone can see them.” Currently, Mezzanine is built for enterprise-level companies, but Oblong is not stopping there. They’ve developed a virtual version of Mezzanine called Rumpus built specifically for remote teams all over the world to collaborate on work projects more effectively. Communication is no longer an issue with Mezzanine and Rumpus, where your ideas are easily shared visually and not limited to the written word. “Cognitive empathy is what Mezzanine and Rumpus is really trying to get at,” says John.   As Chad points out in the episode, “how many relationships have we lost because of flawed communication?” Language has its limitations. Mezzanine and Rumpus are making it easy to visually share ideas in real-time with multiple users. What could be possible for humanity if we all understood each other better? Many of John’s ideas were brought to life in the film, Minority Report, where he helped craft a vision for what technology would look like in 2054. The movie showed “how powerful UI itself can be,” says John. “UI as an extension of human cognition and human teamwork.” On this episode, Chad and John discuss his upbringing from learning to code to his experience in K-12 education, what cultural and economic factors are affecting innovation today, and John’s thoughts on how technology can propel humanity forward. — Mission Daily and all of our podcasts are created with love by our team at Mission.org.

Ein Dokument in der Cloud bearbeiten, Notizen via Messenger teilen oder am Meeting per Online-Konferenz teilnehmen - das Zusammenarbeiten wird immer digitaler. Doch bisher behindern Interfaces und Technologien uns eher an der Zusammenarbeit als dass sie uns dabei unterstützen. Das sagt zumindest John Underkoffler, CEO von Oblong Industries und Science Advisor beim Film Minority Report. Seine Prognosen zum User Interface und der Zusammenarbeit der Zukunft gibt es hier zum Nachhören.

My guest today is John Underkoffler. As an early member of the MIT Media Lab, John was approached by Steven Spielberg and legendary world-builder Alex McDowell to help design the interface of the future for the film Minority Report.   The system John and the team designed became legendary for its vision and conceptual innovation. He’s gone on to help design many sci-fi computer interfaces including Iron Man’s JARVIS.   Building on these fictional computer interfaces, John has founded the company Oblong where he is bringing these collaborative, gestural, and tactile computer interfaces to life — enabling digital objects and data to live in the environment instead of the device.   We discuss John’s visionary science fiction design, his real-world incarnation of these interfaces, and go deep into many aspects of human-computer interaction.   More at: https://www.MindAndMachine.io
