CreativeOS - Simple. Bright. Human.

Simple. Bright. Human. A new model in human-computer interaction Introduction - part I10 September 2011 Andras Kora ak@akora.info

What is CreativeOS?‣ The world’s first truly creation-centered operating system‣ Focusing on the creative flow* it hides all unnecessary (and reveals all necessary) elements of the operating environment based on user interaction‣ It offers a revolutionary way of creating and managing digital content by replacing the 30-year-old desktop metaphor, providing a computer interface that fully supports the flow* * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)10 September 2011 Andras Kora ak@akora.info

What is it not?‣ It is not a new Linux distribution (yet)‣ It is not related to the KDE Plasma Desktop** project (although that’s awesome!)‣ It is not related to the Enlightenment*** project (although that’s really cool!) ** http://www.kde.org/workspaces/plasmadesktop/ *** http://www.enlightenment.org/10 September 2011 Andras Kora ak@akora.info

Key concepts‣ Canvas & viewports replacing what we currently describe as the ”desktop”‣ Interfaces channels towards external systems, e.g. phones, cameras, USB devices, wireless devices, and even towards web services‣ Objects & nodes digital assets, e.g. photos, videos, audio ﬁles, text ﬁles, single paragraphs, emails, tweets‣ Dataspaces local or remote storage space for all the objects, e.g. local hard drive, external storage, cloud services10 September 2011 Andras Kora ak@akora.info

What you won’t find‣ No visible file system no folders, no files (as we know it), no hierarchy; no file names!‣ No applications no distinct applications serving one particular purpose, e.g. word processing, photo manipulation, web browsing‣ No windows no overlapping and competing ”spaces”; no distinct window borders‣ No menus no more ”File”, ”View”, ”Window”, and ”Help”10 September 2011 Andras Kora ak@akora.info
