BumpTop
June 23rd, 2006
Well, it might as well be the revolution that personal computers might need, I certainly like it, but might just be the geek side in me. On the site you can read:
BumpTop aims to enrich the desktop metaphor with expressive, lightweight techniques found in the real world.
In might opinion this prototype rocks and they might as well be right,just check out the demo video at YouTube, or if you prefer with better quality on the company website.

It’s a nice design and they managed to build some really interesting interactions into it. However, I feel the concept itselft is flawed. It’s true that we use the stacking concept on our desks, but that’s just because it really is the only way of dealing with papers until we manage to either throw them away or classify them into binders or envelopes.
With the ever-increasing number of files in our computers nowadays we really don’t need nice ways to make stacks of piles. We need more efficient ways to organize them, resorting to some kind of metadata classification.
