The video by Barton Smith, a designer from Australia of all places, appears to be a prototype UI for a conceptual “Locus OS” which is described as a “location-based operating system”. What makes it special is that it appears to be Microsoft branded

Features :

| Location-based operating system
| Multiple widget desktops designed around a location or activity ie Kitchen, Office, Car
| Automatically switches between desktops with GPS and wi-fi mapping
| Simplified Collections menu allows browsing via function rather than application

Note: This interface was designed before iPhone 3.0, Palm Pre, Android etc, making the ideas original at the time

Designed for Stream adaptive computer system: behance.net/Gallery/Stream/191676
