Hi there,
I’m sure you’ve all seen 3D UI stuff, with OS/X Aqua, Windows Vista and *NIX XGL etc.
This video shows a great example of how physics can be used to enhance the experience, something that none of the above 3D UIs take into account.
Some of the examples later on in the video really look excellent and useful as a way of sorting documents on your desktop.
