[...] A 3d desktop with touchscreen and XGL on a Linux computer. This is similar to the previous 3d desktop we posted but this one seems more practical. [...]

Although it looks fun, I concur that I am happy with my own tidy desktop and this feature, after the initial fun of playing with it, could only serve to make an untidy desktop even worse. While my real desktop is always in a mess, my pc desktop is always tidy, always reational. I’d like to keep it that way. Now find a way to make me keep my real desktop as tidy, without having to overcome my abhorrance of real filing!

I love this!!, Imagine this interface on 50″ panel. Remind anyone of Minority Report.

I like it, more information on the desktop (easily accessible) and easy way to sort through, clean up. Improves upon ctrl-clicking with lasso and throw. Would like to make piles for filing in drawer and / or file. Or maybe alternative desktops for different purposes or projects. This is especially handy for the files I need to review, but not right now. Allows a quick drop on the desktop for later viewing or filing - just like the actual desktop. May not be suitable for the underworked or over organized!

And VRML changed the way everyone worked too (not!). This is very much a “cool-looking” UI desperately in search of a purpose. If I had to chase all those endlessly twitching, bulging, squirming and scattering little tiles around that virtual desktop all day, it’d be my *real* computer screen scuttling across my *real* desk before the week was out. Entertaining stuff, but totally impractical for all but perhaps a few vertical markets.

Very interesting ideas; complex and powerful.

I am always amused by programmers who try to create interfaces based on physical things, like the 3D desktop.

They always fail.

Most programmers should never be allowed to create interfaces.
