BumpTop, a new way to visualize the desktop


BumpTop is a working prototype from the mind of Anand Agarawala, former computer science grad at University of Toronto.

The concept really excites me! Though I'm not sure yet how much I'd want my entire filesystem organized this way, I would love to be able to organize my desktop in this fashion.

Anand Agarawala presents BumpTop, a fresh user interface that takes the usual desktop metaphor to a glorious, 3D extreme. In this physics-driven universe, important files finally get the weight they deserve via an oddly satisfying resizing feature, and the drudgery of file organization becomes a freewheeling playground full of crumpled documents and clipping-covered “walls.”
