Just some thoughts on the evolution of graphical interfaces

I agree that the windows-and-menus GUI is getting a bit old, and I’ve been researching alternative UIs for a while and been keeping notes in my voodoopad. My Dream UI would be a Zoomable UI (cf Raskin, Seadragon), where objects are physical (BumpTop), the UI is deep (tracks user’s eyes to give the UI a perspective transform relative to the user, cf Johnny Chung Lee), and of course multitouch (cf Jeff Han). I call this a “Deep NUI”.

One guy actually nailed almost all of these in a concept, but his site seems to have died :( Anyone have a copy?

Update: Found one of the videos on Youtube. It goes by quickly, but check the screen while it’s visible:

I don’t know who make these videos, but I love them. Fantastic atmosphere, and so surrealistic.

Nice design: David's Log
It even sticks to the right. I love it. For some reason makes me very nostalgic, from when I played in TextEdit with text shadows and took blurry photos with an old Kensington 320x240 webcam.
