Greg Weiss writes "I'm not sure which appeals to me more, the 'focus UI' described in a NY Times article today, or the simple hardware improvement represented by the large flat panel screen shown in a photograph with the article. Which reminds me, has anyone done UI studies of user productivity vs. screen space?" The screen shown in the article consists of a flat-panel monitor embedded within a larger rectangular screen made of foam. A projector installed behind the user projects a low-resolution image of the content onto the screen surface. The monitor at the heart of the screen displays the section of the image that the user wants to see in detail (see picture).

maybe my post is a little bit off topic, but anyway: apropos big screens, imagine you and a coworker could sit together in front of a big 16:9 screen and you are both working on the same project with multiple applications open. both persons have their own keyboard, mouse and context on the _common_ desktop. this means they can both work on the same screen, but each person can interact with other applications at the same time. so the desktop should have two independend mouse pointers and the context should be handled separately for each person.
Somebody seen this before, or is there already an older thread regarding this idea?
