Discussion of The Task Gallery

By on February 27th, 2013

Questions for discussion:

How could a 3D window manager like The Task Gallery be improved by using multiple monitors?

In what tasks would a 3D environment aid in productivity?

What design aspects of The Task Gallery could be changed to gain more benefits?

Who is the target audience for 3D window managers?

How would the modern way of working with windows, mission control in OSX and window snapping in Windows 7, affect designs of modern 3D window managers?
