Is there any research about 3d user interface? Right now we use the windows from Xerox popularized by Macbooks. But I am considering to make it as a game scene, where everything is represented as a 3d objects. I couldn't find anything related to this, or attempts before. The only close thing for this is the holograms from the sci-fi.

As a reference, I am making a social network, but I want it to be a 3d. As a reference here is the prototype:

I also recorded the new form of interface for the crypto wallets. How the transferring tokens from your address to another is done. If there are any systematic explanation of 3d objects, I would appreciate it. :)

There have been a bunch of 3d computing UI experiments. Croquet is one of the most famous, but Iā€™m sure others here can point to more.

BumpTop was another fun one. There were a handful back in the Flash era, but their names escape me.

Pinging Duncan Cragg who has been writing about similar ideas.

Ah thanks, Konrad Hinsen, much appreciated šŸ¤— ! Here's my most recent article on the topic, but my whole Substack site is about this, @Medet Ahmetson

Also there's Anarchy Arcade to look at, plus StardustXR for a Linux 3D Display Server. And General Magic and Looking Glass for history!

Duncan Cragg I checked your reality computer. Do you work on the prototype yourself. Is that a startup with the closed source, or you plan to make it open source?

I was thinking how about potential team forming to work together. Maybe I can schedule a call with you if you don't mint?

Hi @Medet Ahmetson I just finished watching your videos - they're very well produced and the ideas are very interesting of course. My "Reality Computer" is fully open, yes, in every way! I don't have the mental wiring to do commercial stuff or marketing and so-on! So it's just me on my own writing C code! šŸ˜„ Now, I don't see any strong overlap between my stuff and your ideas of AI- and "Mechanical Turk"-assisted End-User customisation or programming! The 3D stuff is very nice, but it's obviously not really your core offering: you could do the whole thing in 2D I should imagine. There are many folk on FoC here that will be interested in talking to you about your project for sure.

Duncan Cragg You are right. Can you also look at the most recent update?

As for the 3d, I decided to add it slowly. for now prioritizing the core. The thing that overlaps is the augmentation of data. That messages from messaging apps can be moved, linked to let's say to the tasks on project management software.

For the upcoming month I will push the new update. Where instead reinventing all the apps, I decided to make it as the interface for the services. For messaging I will use Telegram. For project management I will use the Trello. Both have the API. And we can build the custom interface for them. As the Ara as the interface, it will allow messages, tasks to be shared across different services. The AI is the cherry on the cake that can automate the stuff. It's in the long run. I want this web operating system to be as rem.ing and AI learns from the all user's behaviour to find common patterns and help automate the stuff so user will interact with the computer less. Interested now? šŸ™‚
