About Oblong Industries
Oblong Industries is a Los Angeles-based software company founded in 2006 that develops gesture-based and spatial computing technology. Its roots lie in the g-speak spatial operating environment created by co-founder John Underkoffler, whose gestural interface concepts were featured in the film Minority Report. Oblong's flagship product, Mezzanine, is a multi-stream visual collaboration platform that lets several participants share content from laptops and mobile devices across multiple screens and locations in the same workspace. The company sold Mezzanine to enterprises, government agencies and universities, with users including IBM, Boeing, NASA and PwC, often through AV integrators and as a Cisco Solutions Plus partner. In October 2019 Oblong Industries was acquired by Glowpoint, Inc., which renamed itself Oblong, Inc. in 2020 (and TaoWeave, Inc. in 2025); Oblong Industries continues as its subsidiary.
