I'm impressed. It's an intriguing paradigm for a navigation interface - and the implementation looks surprisingly fast. I wonder how it might work as a web browser..
- dmos62 8y agoWeb doesn't have a tree structure, so the idea might not transfer.
- lopatin 8y agoWeb also doesn't have a linear structure, but the forward/back buttons work well enough.
- lioeters 8y agoTrue, I suppose the web isn't structurally similar to a file system - at least until it gets to the website level. Maybe the navigator could show networks of nodes, grouped by themes/topics, with scaling proportional to popularity.. Interestingly, I just searched for "visualization of the world wide web", and most hits were articles from the 2000's - perhaps related to the image of "cyberspace", a term that's since fallen out of fashion.
- jasonjayr 8y agoYour browsing history does, though. Imagine what kind of structure would be visualized after being lost in Wikipedia for a few hours. It'd be neat to see it clustered by time, and you can jump back and forth to different parts of your history graph.
- Fnoord 8y agoThis was first featured in Jurassic Park [1], from IRIX's FSV which is open source [2]. I'm wondering if the file permissions could be visualized better.
