codeproject.com — Today, in several Star Trek related websites we can see the look & feel of the ship's computers, named LCARS (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System). But in all of them the interfaces were developed in flash or HTML. Searching on the internet I can't find components for another platforms.

There were also some free LCARS components for the Maemo platform on digg last month:<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/linux_unix/Real_Life_Tricorder_Based_On_Nokia_Linux_Tablet_Must_See_Pics">http://digg.com/linux_unix/Real_Life_Tricorder_Based_On_Nokia_Linux_Tablet_Must_See_Pics</a>Always good to see more implementations of lcarsdeveloper's Open LCARS Standards...

where did those come from? were they jsut photoshopped?

C'mon, this is cool. Of course it's not useful in any way, but it's not supposed to be. Just enjoy it for the pure, unadulterated geekiness that it was meant to be.

Close...The data one is photoshopped from Episode 115: Power Play, where Data, Troi, and Miles were taken over by spirits and they attempted to take over the bridge.God, I sound so geeky...

I have LCARS UI on my pocket PC, it works good and has the real voice of the Enterprise. I don't think it's a good thing for the desktop, unless you have a touch screen.

I find it extremely improbable that any advanced civilization would use Microsoft .Net.

Agreed. LCARS can be practical if you have a touch-screen, and a window manager which doesn't overlap windows. In other words Pocket PCs, Internet tablets, and the like. Trying to make it work with a desktop OS seems futile. A cursor is just out of place in this UI.
