3D desktop like desk top "BumpTop Prototype"
It is a 3D interface that can handle icons and windows in the same way as actual documents and books. I think that you can see how intuitive the operation method is if you imagine that it is like a document or bookshelf that is placed on the actual desk.
You can understand this very well by watching a movie that looks like it actually works. It looks a bit like an owl. The movie is from the following.

Actually it seems that the focus is on operation with such a pen format
You can see all the movies, but you can collect icons of flickering in one place and stack them. When stacking up, you will see a menu that selects how to rearrange them.
It is possible to arrange and display like Mac OS X. You can stand up like a bookshelf, align them in a grid pattern properly, or spread out in a fan shape
You can also pinch it in this way
It is possible to put only one on top of it or to let it protrude by one
In addition, it seems that you are considering actually installing on Windows and letting it operate. I hope it will be open source or free software.
