Interface

For my interface i would like to create a 3D environment where the users files are represented in a space and they can easily move through it.

The concept is to do something lthe system Orbital from flash village but allow the user to explore the space. This will be done becouse when they click on a orbiting globe it will then become the point of focus and they will be shown the files relating to that one. Similar to the system used on the visual thesaurus.

Orbital

The system orbital is a flash navigation from flash village it works by having lots of orbiting objects around the outside of one main object that are all clickable, in there system it takes you to a page of the site but in mine it will bring the one you click into the main file.

Visual Thesaurus

The visual thesaurus is a visula representation of a thesaurus where the user searches for a word which is then displayed with any other words that have similar meanings to it, the user can then click on these links to move the word into the place of the current word and then they are represented with all words related to that one. This is a very similar system to my proposed file system but using words instead of files.
