This is a short intro of a userinterface that works well for zapping through fotos, products and so on. Jens Schwoon developed the software and recorded this demo for me to demonstrate the technology.
Some informations from Jens:
this techdemo is 4 years old and is somehow copied in Microsoft Surface a bit. It is only a techdemo, but there are all things written down how to put a real product out of it. It can be “mashed up” as you like to make a PhotoUploader, a PhotoSharing, a Product Browser or even a NewsletterViewer for NewsLetters that User want them to delivered, somehow like a Rss-Reader.. Or it can be a PDF-Viewer or even an Online-Art Gallery or Shopping Mall for Photographers…
everything is possible.. it is somehow like “moving troops” when you pick some pictures and move them around.
And…
For me the sexiest thing would be a filesharing thing where you can share files with your friend with smooth drag and drop and in groups…
If you are interested in using this in your software do contact me or Jens.

Lately i’ve been spending a bunch of time with iPhoto grouping older photos and even ordering an album. I can imagine that this type of interface would be really cool to use because iPhoto isn’t that intuitive in it’s use..
But every time i see a demo of this kind of interface i immediately foresee great amounts of clutter. Because the demo’s almost always consist of stacking items/photo’s on top of each other which reminds me of how i deal with stuff my desk.
My desk is a mess.
Hi Bram
The difference between the computer desk in the software and your real desk is the functionality of “shortcuts” to sort, clean, move or even share the things on the virtual desktop ;-)
And even capture, go back and share ;-)
Best, Jens
