http://www.ted.com Anand Agarawala presents BumpTop, a fresh user interface that takes the usual desktop metaphor to a glorious, 3D extreme. In this physics-driven universe, important files finally get the weight they deserve via an oddly satisfying resizing feature, and the drudgery of file organization becomes a freewheeling playground full of crumpled documents and clipping-covered "walls." Worried your laptop's desktop will descend into the same disorder as its coffee-mug-strewn real-life equivalent? Fear not: BumpTop has a snappy solution for that messy problem, too.

This combined with the multi-touch interface is probably the future. Well it should be at the least. This is so much more intuitive and corresponds with the way our brain works.

When did he give this presentation? Because I have seen at least half of these features demo'ed for Mac OSX Leopard on Apple's website.. Maybe he works for them now?

BumpTop has no real innovations in it. It seems like it was designed to be 3D just for the sake of a 3D desktop. It's great if you want to have fun with your desktop, but for me computers are all about work and efficiency. That's why abstract desktops work a lot better.

xD awesome just hope ill never get angry when using it coz itll be a mess all over lol unless you can save organized... situations. Dont really see any similarity between secondlife and this though... other then the pie menu lol sl dun even have decent physics. Anyhow, 3d enviorment desktops do exist but are atm quiete the resource hogs. never the less, i seriously love all the new approaches in data management that are being developed now
