Sam Smith 创建了一个名为 Geofile Explorer 的项目，通过把真实世界的位置呈现在电脑文件夹中，重新构想数字化探索。该项目仍在开发中，允许用户将地球当作电脑上的一个文件夹来浏览。用户可以拖放图片上传到文件夹，或右键单击添加文字笔记。该项目受多种基于网页的实验和工具启发，这些项目模拟桌面环境或以创造性方式探索数据，例如 Neal.fun 的 Wiki Files 、 Depths of Wikipedia 以及 Readme 文件中列出的其他项目。 Readme 还说明，"Wikipedia"和"Media"部分中的所有文件夹和文件均为 Wikimedia 及其各自所有者所有，并鼓励用户通过编辑 Wikipedia 和 Wikimedia Commons 来帮助完善文件夹结构。界面包含类似 Windows 的常用元素，如 "My Documents"、"Control Panel" 和 "Help and Support"，为用户提供熟悉的桌面交互体验。该项目旨在借助文件系统的概念，使信息更易获取且更具互动性。 Sam Smith has created a project called Geofile Explorer, which reimagines digital exploration by presenting real-world locations as folders on a computer. The project is currently in progress and allows users to explore the Earth as a folder on their computer. Users can drag and drop images to upload them to the folder or right-click to write a text notes. The project is inspired by various web-based experiments and tools that simulate desktop environments or explore data in creative ways, such as Neal.fun's Wiki Files, Depths of Wikipedia, and others listed in the Readme file. The Readme also clarifies that all folders and files in the "Wikipedia" and "Media" sections are properties of Wikimedia and their respective owners, encouraging users to help improve the folder structure by editing Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. The interface includes standard Windows-like elements such as "My Documents," "Control Panel," and "Help and Support," suggesting a familiar desktop environment for user interaction. The project aims to make information more accessible and interactive by leveraging the concept of a file system.
