If you're working on a shopping experience, Brookstone just rolled out their 3-D online store: http://kinset.com/brookstone.php, which you might find worth checking out. Mark Hurst, founder of Creative Good, on his blog at http://goodexperience.com, however, comments how customers can be expected to react when confronted with the fact that they'll have to download an entire application to get this 3-D experience, and whether or not the novelty of the 3-D approach is really worth the headache: http://www.goodexperience.com/blog/archives/2007_11.php#010160 I'd say that Hurst's unspoken hint might be, Just because you *can*, doesn't always mean you *should*.
But then again, it depends on the content, right? I'm with Bryan M on this, in that it's tough to say without knowing what your content is. If you're not talking about a shopping application and your project is more academic in nature, you might check out ThinkMap's very addicting *Visual Thesaurus*, which offers 2-D information in a 3-D format: http://www.visualthesaurus.com/. Your browser may require you to install a Java plugin for this if you don't already have it. (A plug-in...not an application.) ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
