Oblong (NYSE:OBLG) (NYSE:OBLG) is a technology company that specializes in immersive visual collaboration solutions designed to transform the way teams interact with data and each other. Originally founded by MIT alumnus John Underkoffler, Oblong has developed a unique spatial operating environment—known as g-speak—that enables users to manipulate information through natural gestures, voice commands and touch. These capabilities are integrated into both proprietary hardware and software platforms, providing a seamless, real-time collaboration experience for distributed teams.
The company’s flagship product, Mezzanine, combines high-resolution displays, advanced gesture recognition and a highly scalable software architecture to deliver a multi-screen collaboration room. Mezzanine rooms support mixed reality overlays and virtual whiteboarding, allowing multiple participants in different locations to engage with 2D and 3D content concurrently. In addition to Mezzanine, Oblong offers the Route One and Route Two series of immersive display solutions, which extend g-speak interactions to desktop and mobile form factors, ensuring that visual collaboration remains consistent across any environment.
Oblong serves a broad range of industries, including defense and intelligence, energy, finance, healthcare and manufacturing. The company’s solutions are deployed at corporate headquarters, command centers and design studios around the world, with installations spanning North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
