Amazing video of a pen-enabled 3D desktop: BumpTop

BumptopChris Leckness found a 3D desktop feature over at TechEBlog yesterday and I had already seen two of the three they featured. What I hadn’t seen before was the prototype from BumpTop. There’s an amazing video of this environment that uses a digital pen to move and manipulate documents. BumpTop incorporates real world physics, for example: when you push a folder across the desk and it bumps other folders, they move based on their size and placement.

It’s simply something you have to see as it most resembles a real-world desktop better than any implementation I’ve seen prior. The downside is: I have a very messy desk, so I’d expect my BumpTop desk to be just as messy now. ;)
