Krzysztof sent along links to two compelling interaction concepts that demonstrate alternative ways of interacting with computers than what most of us are using now. In the picture on the left is the ‘bumptop desktop’ by Anand Agarawala. This takes the typical desktop metaphor for organizing and interacting with files and stretches it to include physics, 3D rendering, and gestural interactions. The picture on the right shows the multitouch display developed by Jeff Han. This provides an intiutive method for interacting in a very direct way with the information presented on the screen.
