任务库是一个窗口管理器，它使用交互式3D图形为任务管理和文档比较提供直接支持，这是许多实现桌面隐喻的系统所缺乏的。用户任务显示为挂在虚拟艺术画廊墙壁上的艺术品，所选任务位于舞台上。可以选择多个文档，并使用3D空间并排显示，以提供统一和直观的缩放。任务库托管任何Windows应用程序，使用新颖的重定向机制，在3D环境和未修改的2D Windows应用程序之间路由输入和输出。用户研究表明，任务库有助于任务管理，使用起来很愉快，3D隐喻唤起了空间记忆和认知。
The Task Gallery is a window manager that uses interactive 3D graphics to provide direct support for task management and document comparison, lacking from many systems implementing the desktop metaphor. User tasks appear as artwork hung on the walls of a virtual art gallery, with the selected task on a stage. Multiple documents can be selected and displayed side-by-side using 3D space to provide uniform and intuitive scaling. The Task Gallery hosts any Windows application, using a novel redirection mechanism that routes input and output between the 3D environment and unmodified 2D Windows applications. User studies suggest that the Task Gallery helps with task management, is enjoyable to use, and that the 3D metaphor evokes spatial memory and cognition.
