For some time, I've been intrigued by the question of what comes next after the mouse and the windowed desktop, the Xerox PARC legacy of desktop human-computer interaction. The paradigm that PARC gave us has proven amazingly versatile. But even it has its limitations, both in navigability and interaction bandwidth.
Over a span of about nine months, I pulled together some casual research here and there, examining other proposals, trying to determine their shortcomings, and, in the realm of thought experiment, iterated answers to the problems that I identified. Over this past summer, I finally produced an eight-minute motion graphic piece detailing the problem and my proposed solutions. I'm sure there are yet many shortcomings in my proposal. Still, I think it's a solid basis for further exploration, and I hope it inspires some new dialog.
