new approaches to interface design
archy is a new approach to a human-computer interface. instead of putting files into folders and have separate applications, in archy, everything is just contained in one single space, and you navigate by zooming in an out. check out the zoom demo (cursor up/down for zooming in (to the mouse pointer position) and out, mouse drag for panning).
imagine a system where your work can never be lost. Imagine a system where you can do what you want to do — send email, write a book, make calculations, manipulate pictures — at all times, without having to switch applications. Imagine a system where you never have to search for a file buried in a maze of folders. (from http://rchi.raskincenter.org/aboutrchi/index.php)
