Jeffrey Greenberg created the first drag-and-drop interface for Windows under Windows 2.0 in 1988 including drag & drop printing, deletion, copy and other capabilities. The drag and drop interface is the leading way to interact with general computing systems and is based on the metaphor of an office desktop and associated physical organizational tools, such as folders and office tools. (See citations under drag-and-drop). He also developed user interface innovations including the first web-based ultrasound radiology viewing station, and interfaces to medical devices that include voice, sound, and touch.
Greenberg studied performance art with Allan Kaprow and received numerous art awards, including from the National Endowment for the Arts, and published a leading avant-garde journal of advanced Art, called The Act from 1986-1992. This art background informs his work in computing technology.
