Graphics, User Interfaces Though this technology isn't incredibly new (the video is dated June of 2006, and OSNews has covered it before), it's still not publicly available; however, it'll supposedly have a beta out for subscribers to test someday. Branded "BumpTop," this new interface builds off of the idea of organization done on traditional desktops-- I mean the wooden, metal, or glass ones. People naturally organize papers and other items into piles that make sense to their own ways of thinking. This kind of organization is limited on operating systems today, but BumpTop makes an old idea new by turning your virtual desktop a little more real.

Its called Real Desktop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAYZF6ZFUkU&feature=related Its fairly similar. Allthough the demo video sucks, it shows the same concept.
