Think of Tactile as a 3D file explorer with the ability to organize in a 3D space by exploiting useful visual and audible cues. The design of the interface is based on our remarkable ability to recall the placement of a virtually unlimited number of stationary objects. Quick! Where's your camera? What drawer are your blue socks in? Tactile 3D effectively identifies files, directories, and drives by using various 3D models. Organizing your data in a more visual way alleviates the current necessity to remember cryptic file and path names to get what you want.

Wow. This amounts to turning your computer into something very much resembling a Gibsonian cyberpace deck. I might have to give this a whirl.

It's so very sterile and abstract.
Now if they can interface with the Sims programs, that would make it truly useful.
I'd want to be able to put my kids' files in a replica of their dresser drawers. Have the cat come up to beg for food when there are certain tasks to be done.
I like your "warm and fuzzy" version, Carol.
And just think of the RFID applications.
If they combine it with them holograms I've been hearing about ... wee! Talking about live-action Memory Palace and isht.
