I’m not sure if you’ve seen this or heard about it, but this is quite impressive: Interact by pushing, pulling and piling documents…on your computer’s desktop interface. Wow! I’m still digesting (read: thinking/analyzing) how this will affect the computer world. So, just check out the website and video.
BumpTop is a fresh and engaging new way to interact with your computer desktop. You can pile and toss documents like on a real desk. Break free from the rigid and mechanical style of standard point-and-click desktops. Interact by pushing, pulling and piling documents with elegant, self revealing gestures. BumpTop’s stunning interface makes clever use of 3D presentation and smooth physics-based animations for an engaging, vivid user experience.
Take it easy.
