Take a tool (The computer) that is intended to organize information, and make it as disorganized as real life... Where is desktop computing going, again???

The BumpTop 3d Desktop takes the pseudo-organized desktop of loose and shaped piles of paper and imposes a similar metaphor on the virtual equivalent. Problem is that a messy desktop represents a very personal system that is based on position, but not on information or content. Whether you sort through a real pile of paper, magazines, or folders or the virtual equivalent, you are still doing the indexing manually. Even a tidy pile of hundreds of files of several extensions is going to consume time shuffling. Perhaps somebody has a visual metaphor for files based on specific content.

i'd love to see this implemented with some sort of glove interface instead of the pen, to be able to manipulate the files virtually with your hands... very interesting

Neat. Now I can make my pc desktop look as messed up as my real desktop.

Visually it looks good but I can't see it replacing folders, especially when you're dealing with thousands of files.
