a proper SGI Interface at the time that was part of IRIX.
Apparently someone made a clone of this:
Something not quite the same:
Wait, these things are on SourceForge? Ah... Hmm...
Anyone wanna compile this and see if it's the same wondrous experience?

This is so stupid, you could almost certainly get an InfoVis paper out of it.

I had to google what that was, just to be sure I wasn't assuming incorrectly...

I am so dependent on WinDirStat (clearly when working on Windows machines). The view is quite insightful!

: How can we represent data more confusingly?
: Let's use flowers.

Results indicate that the Radar chart was the least effective and least liked, while performance of the two other options were mixed and dependent on the task. Results also showed strong preference of participants toward the Flower chart.
interesting...

Zoomable User Interfaces are cool. Terrible to actually use, but still cool.

This is dumb on a combining-"This is a unix system!"-jurassic-part-and-CSI-zoom-and-enhance level... So with a bit of polish so it doesn't look like an OSS-turdwaffle it will be in every mainstream OS in a decade or two, pushed by a wish-it-was-new-and-groundbreaking consumer tech just to separate it from the chaff...

Eagle Mode has a .deb package...
3D minesweeper baby! Oh yeah!
Otherwise... not really sure if it's at all usable, really, especially with a mouse. Panning is weird too, it's not the standard "moving the page" paradigm, it's centering on your cursor instead, so to speak. Which kinda makes sense I guess, because you scroll to zoom in/out, and it always zooms towards the cursor. It also kinda autozooms on the "widget" you have centered once you zoomed in close enough.
So, filesystem view is this:
And then you keep zooming in...
And in...
Eh. Was fun for 5 mins. Too lazy to compile fsv though.
