3D desktop – BumpTop

I have found one nice-looking application on the Internet, so I wanted to try it out in practice, to see how it looks and how it works. It’s an application for creating a 3D Desktop – BumpTop. On the first look, it’s an application which needs attention, very good looking, has some “physics” in itself for creation of virtual 3D space, as you have it right in front of you. All files, folders and documents you collect in piles and then you search through them as you need them. The idea at the first look is very good and innovative, but when you try it out in practice, you see it isn’t so good. Physic table and 3D space is something totally different from virtual 3D space and that’s clear to everyone, but the company is right with the idea to try to promote to this software. It’s not functioning. It requires too many unneeded clicks to get some file or folder which is buried deep in piles or simply rambling around. (more…)
