Post your comments for Intel's 3D User Interface Gets an Application here

[EleanorWynn]

Thanks for citing an earlier post I wrote about Miramar on blogs.intel.com/IT. I recently composed a more extended post to capture this history of and received comments from people who participated along the way. It is an interesting story about how innovation really works (more like driving a washed out rocky curving mountain road than a freeway straight to success). Your title is absolutely right in pointing out that we found a legitimate application for a technology that otherwise was very cool, excellently executed, tested well with users, but did not yet have the compelling usage scenario needed to go beyond. Our research on virtual workforce revealed that most Intel employees work on 3-4 teams or more, and work virtually as well. The context retention and the "push to back" 3D capabilities of Miramar allow users to maintain visual memory, keep a "task" together, and at the same time do the switching their workload often requires. http://blogs.intel.c...7/09/innovationadhoc_systemery.html
