V Gestural Interface

by ccManager
Commentary summary:
A rotating camera and gestural interface never fails to make computer use look exciting

Text Commentary:

Gestural interfaces and holographic displays, which are emblematic of state of the art computer interface and display technology in 2010 are commonplace on futuristic alien space ships. This montage was cobbled together from two separate episodes of the first season of the 2009-10 TV series V, but the cinematographic technique of combining continually panning camera moves with fast-paced music is most reminiscent of the 1995 film Hackers, where it was also necessary to make the activity of typing things into computer terminals seem tension-filled and exciting. The non-touch keyboard and swiping of screen display items is additionally reminiscent of the real-world G-speak interface system prototyped for Minority Report.
