I like the search functionality, but whats with all the zooming in and out?
Étoilé is a Project-based Desktop. That means that instead of folders, your files are contained within projects. A project is basically a folder on steroids. Projects contain their own metadata about their contents, can be written and drawn on, and, when launched, zoom in to fill the whole screen. They’re like mind maps that happen to contain launchable files. Zooming is an essential part of a spatial interface, and with the Project-based Desktop, zooming helps segregate content from one another by filling the screen with the focus of your attention. It also looks pretty cool. If you would like to see a Flash demo of this functionality, please visit the Project-Based Desktop.
