3D interface of future OS from Microsoft

On April 5, Microsoft received a patent for a three-dimensional user interface ( pdf ) for the three-dimensional task gallery computer interface. The document is quite voluminous, full of drawings and diagrams, but even a quick look allows you to create an impression of the ideas developed in the depths of the Redmond company.
Frankly, the graphic content of the patent does not amaze the imagination, therefore, it is pointless to bring screenshots from the document, except for the most visual. In the brief description, the new Microsoft operating system interface is a view of the “virtual office” (in fact, a certain room, in the original - virtual office), approximately as it looks in first-person shooters. The system, tracking the direction and duration of movement of the pointing device, allows the user to move around the room, creating “tasks” (a set of windows) that can be grouped in their individual “rooms” (rooms). The programmer can create the “interior” of the room at will, combining “room objects” and textures on them as he sees fit, and determining the response to the user's actions. Here it will be not at all surprising if for the newest system the necessary attributes are not only the keyboard and the mouse (if there is still any sense in them), but also the Kinect manipulator that is selling quite successfully.
