Seriously though... that looks like it would be a
pretty nice piece of
*hardware*, if it were about 30" wide or so. For control with a mouse
on a ~ 15" wide monitor, yuck. Sigh... I still don't understand why so
many people don't try to come up with an interface that makes good use
of the actual interface resources as opposed to imaginary resources :-)
because thats a lot more work. doing stuff like this (once you have a
pixmap based toolkit in place) is easy, easy, easy. devising new
metaphors and analogies for the UI is tough, often like a research
project.
