Thoughts on Aurora

without comments

Very ThoughtTrail! Produced with Mozilla, Aurora is a set of nice mockups, illustrating the kinds of product designs AdaptivePath like, showing their vision of the future. I have to say, AdaptivePath and Mozilla’s vision for Aurora is *VERY* aligned to what we’re doing with ThoughtTrail. They’ve done a nice job.

I see problems with the fingerprint scanner feasibility, and the radial interface. But they show useful solutions to information overload, and information discovery, at the same time. Again, it’s very similar to what we’re working on at ThoughtTrail.

The best bit is not shown first, first they show a radial menu interface that requires too much clicking, they can do better than that, it seems a bit rushed.
The best bit, is the contextual goo here:

This is accurately showing how we will replace the outdated files and folder navigation methodology, and replace it with semantic aware technology.

AdaptivePath, will be releasing our next mockup soon ;)
