  • Yet Another 3D Desktop Metaphor: BumpTop



    Has some interesting ideas present, but interfaces of this nature aren't entirely feasible given our current display implementations. There's also the issues of differentiation between files on the desktop and how application windows come into play, both of which they appear to be answering sometime in the future with the currently non-existant FAQ.

    Something following the design of the Nintendo DS would be ideal, with a lower screen that would lay flat on a surface (acting as the virtual desktop) and an angled one that would behave like a traditional display (showing application windows, etc.).

    I could see this being useful as an enhancement to the Icon view in Windows Explorer, allowing me to manipulate various document collections within a project, but being rather unwieldly on a macro scale. It also looks a lot harder to learn and needs a stylus to use - maybe ok for the graphic artists out there.

        Would be better if the touch screen was multi input!
