I love radial / orbital menus which are related to pie. Especially when dealing with deeply nested hierarchies as on windows/web, it's SOOO easy to accidently mouse off a deeply nested menu, and then have to retraverse it, to miss it again!
Even back in 2005 I had one on my site (still up). It's actually has more than one depth, and a sort of zooming. It is a mini research project to see how well motion could be used to convey relationship. This is because my previous job was doing neural network visualization and we had saturated color, position for carrying information. There is a button off to the left side to turn visual hierarchy back on. The other thing I tried to explore is navigation vrs reading. You can click on the window to bring it front. Everything is draggable. http://www.troyworks.com/menu.html Troy. On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 8:53 AM, Mike Cuesta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello everyone, I'm new to IxDA, glad to be part of this.
