There are quite a few fantastic advances in technology in the film Minority Report that would provide hours of mirth and fun, not to mention some genuine value. The sick-stick, the jetpack and those brilliant hover-ships that would doubtless be liable for extra c-charge costs but are mercifully easy to park. However, the one resounding image most of us took away from that movie was the highly evolved computer interface that Mr Cruise tames in order to manage information visually.

So far, a number of developers have tried to lay the foundations of visual search. But the latest one to catch my eye is Viewzi, which heralds itself as “a whole new way to experience search”. Yes, it’s prettier. And, yes, it’s more geared to those with more tread on the tyres of their right brain. But what’s really interesting about it is how it allows us get a little glimpse of something that could fundamentally up-end the way we navigate the digital landscape.

Recruiters take notice. This technology would allow a resourcer to shuffle, assess and recall candidate video like a deck of cards. It could be used to negotiate your way through a truly interactive CV, packed with narrative clips supporting an application. It would absolutely revolutionise training programmes. And that’s just the start. The only thing that’s holding it back, other than the costs of producing compelling digital video, is the colossal download rates you need to make it seamless. But one’s things for sure. It’s only a matter of time before these kinds of interfaces make it out of the minority and into the mainstream.
