Xerox Star was the first commercial product with an icon user interface, and concepts like the desktop, folders, icons, and mouse that we are familiar with today were first introduced. And many of these icons and concepts can still be seen today. This graphical interface allows users to interact with the computer more intuitively without having to type complex commands. Their design philosophy is very user-oriented, pioneering a user-centered design direction, marking the birth of the field of interactive design.
