From Techcrunch, a link to 10/GUI, a concept video for touch-based interaction that reconceives our traditional keyboard + mouse combination and overlapping windows UI. What is interesting to me about the UI portion of the video is how much it reminds me of sites like Lumifi that use horizontal tabbing to change the way information is accessed on the screen. Whether this is a better fit for touch-based interaction is debatable, but it is, at least, another idea.
On a related note, I’m going to assume that the panorama/horizontal content navigation scheme seen on the iPhone and most noticeably on the new Windows Mobile 7 will continue to assert its influence over desktop UI design as we move towards more consumer-oriented touch-based inputs.
