Ok, after only moments of playing with this I realized that it's instantly comfortable and intuitive for me. I would absolutely love this for all the pdfs I have on my systems - so much more potential than browsing folders. If the user had control of the category concept then it could work for just about all files... I really want this as a tool.
it's really nice to see finally the next generation of the web sites ..not only a stable page as a news paper !! I wonder if this will become in 3D in the close future ..that's will by a real jump ! but u know ?! with the big requirements to make such a thing work, I guess we gonna see a big space between those who can, and have the requirements to use such a thing, and those who don't and can't .. just in time when we thought that space was filled !
While it's really cool stuff, I can't seem to find it that usable. From the two aspects, the searching and the exploring of content, you just get an grid of small book icons that is 3d, but doesn't give you full control of navigating or jumping around(ignoring the button for choosing categories, because that's lame..), and it doesn't give you some basic information at one glance like the title. So from a UI perspective, nothing really useful, but definitely very cool and something to extend upon. Add things like cooler smoother navigation with grouping and jumping between groups, semantic zooming(if you zoom near, you get more details, further away you get grouping and just little icons), and searching.

Woww.......that's really cool, yet another interesting feature from Google!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic showcase... great work!

ReplyDeleteCool!!!
ReplyDeleteThis would make a great application which could be installed and we could use for browsing personal books/music/movies.
Amazing idea!!
ReplyDeleteBut the bookstore should allow users to read the review comments for a book/movie.

ReplyDeleteAgree with phil, the default books app for the ipad in library view is a good example of something that works way better.
ReplyDeleteGood attempt at doing something interesting in 3D though, even if it misses in a UI perspective.
awesome cool ...
