次のUIブレークスルーを待っている

The user interface for PCs hasn't changed much in 20 years. It's still windows, folders, icons, palettes, mice. Many UI improvements have been made over the years, especially by Apple, but not major innovations. Lately, Microsoft is showing off it Avalon graphic engine with a 3D user interface for the Vista desktop. Sun has been forever showing off Looking Glass, now an open source project, but it's not shipping with any product. It's mostly eye candy. The Mac OS doesn't currently use a lot of 3D effects (like windows floating in 3D space), but it applies many cool and useful animation effects, such as Expose, with its Quartz graphics engine. I'll predict that Apple's next rev of its OS will include more visual effects for modeling the desktop, subtlely blending 2D and 3D.
Waiting for the next UI breakthrough
