Slide Unlock

This is a concept video of a UI for tablets. The goal is that you can manage the system with your thumbs while you are holding the tablet with the two hands.

This video shows the unlock screen and the slide unlock (anonymous login).


Unlock screen

The unlock screen shows you basic info like local wheather, local time and a sliding line calendar (I believe that these must be configurable modules and that the unlock screen doesn't have to show any personal data). If you have setup a home location then, one tap over the time or the weather areas changes the info from local to home and viceversa).

The unlock screen have two sliders and both unlock the system exactly in the same way, but there are one difference. If you unlock the tablet with the left slider the system assumes that you are left handled, right handled otherwise. This way the menus fit naturally to your behaviour.

You can unlock your tablet in two ways: Slide to Unlock and Sign to unlock.


Slide unlock

When you unlock by sliding, not by signing, you access to the default public desktop. The default public desktop doesn't contains any personal data, photos, email accounts etc. No recent items are shown in the apps and there is not home location. You can browse the web, access to the public projects system, public downloads and all the media, apps, tapps and control surfaces marked as public (by default) .

men that's gorgeous! I hope you can work in something like that and make it real.. it's a beautiful concept

The idea is interesting but you have to consider that holding the tablet with two hands means you cannot actually reach half of the screen. Having to change the position of your hands every time you need to actually use your large screen, simply nullifies the purpose of this concept. And with a multi-purpose tablet, like an iPad, where you can play games, write, surf in the net and so on, you better assume no one is going to hold the tablet your way.
It should be an option not the rule.

Apple has made a working product. For me it's much better than just a 15 seconds of nice consept video.

"The biggest wholesale company" wouldn't be spamming youtube videos.

@AdamKaoru how does it look too targeted towards one group to you?

I bet you can jailbreak an ipad and get a theme that looks just like that.

tbh, this doesn't really look like a traditional apple design.. Looks more like windows.

THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE FROM APPLE! :P

This is better than the iPad. Lol u should work for apple, no scratch that, GOOGLE! This is just the software the Archos tablet needs! The hardware looks the same as u r s.

@RadiohEraser It looks more like Linux imo

Apple fanboy will settle for less, they practically buy anything Apple shits out. NEW AND RELEASED: The "iPoop" its smellier than urs and longer lasting.
