Abstract :
The interaction between end-users and computers is attained through the operating systempsilas user interface. 2D graphical user interfaces along with the WIMP metaphor have long been governing this interaction. A new, 3D approach is introduced in this paper, whereby new metaphors are established. First, related works in the field are discussed. Then, COFFEE (Cube Objects with Functionality Facets Enhancer Entities) is introduced with the new metaphors and 3D graphical enhancements. Then, the paper is concluded.
