No, I think I remember this video, though it would have been very late 80s, and I remember it as being from Apple. Of course it was just a video done with special effects, no part of the device was real. It was a big flat computer built into a desktop, and the person interacted with it for a while using fingers and voice commands before receiving a video call from somebody.
Those things seemed a long way off at the time, but certainly not unimaginably far off. It was probably pretty damn close to actual present-day technology, but of course we've learned since then that things that may seem spiffy such as voice-controlled computers and video chat aren't nearly as useful as we thought they might be before we had them.
- Shebanator 15y agoYes, I remember this video too. I think it was part of the Information At Your Fingertips speech at Comdex in 1990. http://www.proudlyserving.com/archives/2005/05/information_at.html http://www.proudlyserving.com/archives/2005/05/information_a...
