The Humane Environment
In computers, The Humane Environment (THE) is a program whose purpose is to demonstrate an apparently unprecedented style of graphical user interface. As of 2004, it is developed under the authority of human-computer interface expert Jef Raskin. THE incarnates Raskin’s concepts of a "humane interface," by using Open source elements within a rendition of a Zooming User Interface (ZUI).
Raskin's THE project can be compared with Project Looking Glass from Sun Microsystems and with Microsoft Research's Task Gallery prototype. Unlike them however he starts off with a clean sheet. Sun and Microsoft are building interfaces which are meant to be placed on top of existing systems or to continue them in some way.
