FOCAL

Project Overview

Do you often lose track of your open apps while working on your laptop? Focal brings order to your digital workspace by allowing applications to be spatially arranged – directly on the walls around you.

With various gestures, you can pull apps towards you and seamlessly switch between three different information levels. This creates a new, structured way of digital working that adapts to your needs.

The Problem

In today's digital work environment, we are constantly surrounded by numerous open applications. Traditional operating systems offer only limited possibilities for organizing these applications, which can lead to overwhelm and reduced productivity.

The Solution

Focal uses Mixed Reality to give digital workspaces a spatial dimension. Applications can be positioned around the user, with three information levels enabling intuitive organization:

• Peripheral Level: Less important apps remain in view without being distracting
• Focus Level: Actively used apps are placed in optimal position
• Detail Level: Enables deep interaction with a single application

Through intuitive gestures, users can effortlessly switch between these levels and thus control their attention in a targeted manner.
