Ask HN: does an Expanding Desktop exist?

I imagine something that you open windows in, arrange however you want, and then you can slide left and right, up and down, and maybe even zoom out and in. Os X has discrete spaces, i want something that would be the equivalent of laying a bunch pieces of paper on an infinite (real) desktop, and moving your head around to focus on one area. Does a UI like this exist?

X11 has (had?) a virtual desktop setting that you could make larger than your monitor and either share between different monitors or scroll around using a single monitor.
