Bumtop 3D desktop prototype

Bumtop 3D has been working on a new way of organizing your desktop on your computer. They started from the idea that people don't want to have all their files on their computer desktops arranged in a neat and grilled way. They think that computer desktops should look like your real desktop with piles of documents arranged in the way you're used to arrange them. So they came up with this very nice and interesting prototype:

There are great inventions behind this prototype. But I believe that the postulate is wrong, you don't want your computer desktop to be as messy as your real desktop, you have a computer in order to organize your documents, pictures, videos... in a tidy way.

It is not the first time that "piles" concept is introduced. There has been some rumors that Longhorn or Mac OS X would get this "pile" concept in their OS.

But they have done some great improvements in the way you can organize your piles and most of all, browse them. You can view them as a standard grid, the fish eye technic is great and the fan-out seems very handy, the leafer is nice too and reminds me of CoverFlow albums covers browsing technic (sold to apple for Itunes).

Giving a weight and a stronger inertia to the files according to their importance is a nice field of research.
