This is a video from the dynamic graphics project at the University of Toronto named: Keeping it Real: Pushing the Desktop Metaphor with Physics, Piles and the Pen in BumpTop. Big title, ain’t it ? What they did is project the concept of the normal desktop, the real one not the one from your computer to your computer by making it 3 dimensional. Files are shown as three dimensional items as well that can be placed on top of each other, sorted, deleted and manipulated manifold.
You can pin files on walls, make them bigger to give them more weight and importance (smaller files have troubles moving bigger files). Everything looks really intuitive, easy and strangely familiar. Will everyone be using this kind of 3D desktops in the future or will this remain what it is right now, an experiment..
