Okay, well not quite, but I thought this was pretty amazing. GE “brings good things to life”, almost literally.

For those of you that have seen Minority Report, you know that that people have been trying to recreate that type of computing model in the real world since the movie came out. Well, it doesn’t quite exist yet, but GE may be headed in the right direction.

As a way to draw interest to their Smart Grid energy technology, GE has created an interactive 3D experience that is pretty startling at first. It almost seems unreal… until you realize that it is actually interacting with you. Check out a video of the guys at doppelagent.de experiencing this first hand, although you will want to try it out for yourself.

Okay, so it’s not quite Minority Report level computing. However, with the live human 3D interaction inside of a virtual, yet real, space, all done in the comfort of your browser using Adobe Flash… this is quite amazing, nonetheless. I would love to see this kind of technology take off and be available in a browser… maybe we’re not far off.
