This is certainly a novel idea, but does it have an actual use?

It looks real nice, just watch the video. This is definately an application i would use. I would have it shown on my second monitor so that I still had my main desktop functionality.

So far as I can tell, this will just be a toy unless some modifications are made. To start with, how do I tell what is inside those PDF documents without actually opening them? At least with the standard UI we use today you can see the name of the file giving you a clue to its contents. Adding meta data to the mouse hover or put the file name actually on the file.

Some other useful functions would be to add the ability to add a post-it note to the file and write what you like on it, just like you can on a real desk, with real pieces of paper and files.

I am already thinking of the future. Imagine that the top layer of your desk was this little product… with touch screen activation. You could always have a stand-alone monitor to isolate certain files for you to work on.

Could this innovative design be the future of computing? Keep and eye here and when there is more news I will post it here. Hopefully I will get a chance to beta test this application, and if I do, you can expect a full review.

Now sit back and watch the vid.
