Yes, it's a degree of interest interaction. There have been various
attempts to implement this DOI idea since it came out, and I'm
pointing to this one as a rather novel implementation, that may
overcome some of the usability issues seen with hyperbolic trees, etc.
I would definitely test its usability with a taxonomic tree data set
and some "normal folk" before advocating it as the ultimate solution
for an EOL project. Denise Green and I did these types of usability
tests on three interactive tree presentations available in 2005,
providing something of a baseline against which this particular
interaction style might be judged. See:

This begs the question: has this style of user-interface failed
to catch on
more widely because of:
1) Technological limitations;
2) Insufficient creativity and inspiration; or
3) Insufficient usability?
I'm tempted to eliminate #3 on the grounds that I don't think this
style of
UI has been widespread enough to have been subjected to, and then
failed,
some sort of usability meta-experiment.
This is not to say that it won't ultimately fail such a
meta-experiment --
just that it hasn't really had a chance to fail it yet.
