@Ivan Reese for 3d interfaces, something I find fascinating are non-euclidean spaces (I guess they are not 3d anymore lol). I think they have profound scope for representing multi-dimensional computational concepts yet still being tactile and intuitive. There are not nearly as abstract and mathematical as they sound.
Take a look at this awesome video. I love
- walking up a hill both ways
- the bit at 2:40 where walking through a tunnel makes you smaller alice and wonderland style. This is not representing computation this is experiencing computation from a first person perspective operating on your own perception
- the room totally convinces me - it's feels so natural despite being non-euclidean
Mind blowing:
