[IxDA Discuss] RE : Re: Bumptop

[Alain D. M. G. Vaillancourt]

Bingo!

That's exactly what I mean when I say they still have a lot of work to
do in this matter and when I say that a new 3D scheme for the desktop
will be able to work only in 4 to 8 years from now with the
multiplication of hi-res screens all over a workspace.

In their current scheme of things they rely only on two things:  The
first is the document's format or type, which is useless when most or
all of your documents are of the same type.  The other is the
annotations you can give to a document by doing things like folding
corners or changing arrangment in 3D space, in and out of piles,
something which is useful only if you have time to do this for each
document, which is impossible for most documents and most
office/knowledge workers given lack of time and great number of
documents.

On a real desk surface and office walls a lot of the elements of any
document ID depend on inherited information, which can be in textual
and numeric form, but also in graphic form.  The Bumptop gang have
barely scratched the surface by making the graphic component of
document types more visible.  They, or others, still have to get into
the matter of devising and implementing some form of textual and
graphic inheritance for each document.  Such a form of GUI documentary
bequest will require a higher resolution and more space.
