You know whoever had one of these bad bois in their home in the late 1500s was considered cool as fuck
When you hate bookmarks.
I mean this is probably a lot faster than closing and opening books, and that matters if you have to juggle many books as a professional scribe or researcher. It's the same reason proper professional software looks like a mess of buttons and panels on the main window instead of "neatly organising" them behind submenus and popups. And why as a power user I despise that paradigm of UI design being labeled as "outdated" or "unintuitive." It's hard to learn when first using the software yes, but once you learn it you can be extremely productive.
Forget virtual desktops, when you got real desktops.
Putting 6 screens up instead of alt+tabbing like a normal person
I have 3 screens at work and one of them I just use for slacking off.
As you should
Ive seen similar things in libraries sometimes.
Maybe I'm a dunce but I wouldn't even know how to keep all my books spread evenly at rest let alone like this
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but the little shelves are not swiveling like a seasaw, they're fixed and keep their orientation (respective the ground) via the sun gear
I might be fabricating a memory, but I could swear that I have actually used something like this, at one point, in a university library.
