3D interface for information archive

Inventors continue to struggle to solve the problem of life-blogging and managing huge amounts of digital information that accumulate with each person in the process of life.

The digital stream is growing, and there is no convenient way to accumulate and organize this information, or not. One of the solutions to the problem is proposed by scientists from the University of Massachusetts. They patented the idea of ​​a three-dimensional interface for storing and visualizing such data.

The essence of the idea lies in the fact that the entire information archive is presented in the form of a virtual house in which various objects are placed. For example, a study is your business documents. The drawn TV "answers" for a call of the folder with movies. The photo frame on the virtual wall is a family photo album. This way of presenting information is more adapted to the natural perception of man.
