User Interface Design Part 2 (Aurora Desktop)

Mozilla has a concept for a new user interface called "Aurora". It takes the Bump Top concept to a whole new level by incorporating an extremely intuitive design for navigating your computer and using smart technologies to find and update data dynamically. The pointing device is also very cool. It is not a mouse, but rather a ball on an arm that you move naturally to navigate. Looks good but I wonder how this device would holdup in the real world. The desktop side bars look a little cluttered and clumsy, but you get the point when watching the video. Those things can always be tweaked.

The video is best watched in full screen high definition which I have linked to below. Enjoy!
