And old hat... Bell labs were working on these kind of ideas in the early 80s (all that really came out of was the first MAC and Windows). I even got to see some some early examples of table based I.T. more than a decade ago... I do not see where this fits into a the more general move towards personal data and computer devices... (Portables, Tablets, PDAs and Smartphones). For many of todays young style is a sleek phone, not a sleek computer interface.. For general use the majority of people struggle with a keyboard, mouse and a 2D screen doing 2D data representations, 3D representation has really only been used in CAD, virtualisation, and gaming, all areas with special requirements. I doubt this kind 3D interface will be in use until people can make productive use of it and are comfortable with it (and that productive use is significantly better than current use). I may be going down the same road as (unly 4 computers) Watson or (who needs more than 64K) Gates here....:-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGbl3HasN0sSnLmgIRAnVEAJ9/s6v/W9dc1kek83QQ1xxTbmG6lQCfSWHP 7Rk3BDkOTqmtBKF1TgDL2uw= =VuhL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
