3D user interfaces: Navigating in space between information nodes

Each information node is displayed in the middle and the related ones are grouped around it, by relation type. Tapping another information node, takes you to it, and it brings it's own related content into the scene.

In our cases the information nodes can either be iPad apps or people that recommend them.

3D user interfaces: lists and scrolling in 3D

In a 3D UI traditional vertical, or even touch horizontal scroll doesn't work anymore. Instead, the information is divided in pages, and they are stacked one in from of the other. When the user swipes the page it moves to become the last in the stack, and the one behind it becomes first. Swiping in the other direction reverses the action.

3D user interfaces in HTML5/JavaScript

I have always thought, that the next step in UI design, is adding the 3rd dimension. Throughout the history, there have been many attempts, but all of them failed because instead of simplifying the user experience they just made it harder.

Last night, I and a friend released our first app, for iPad, that is our approach on 3d user interfaces.

There have been many challenges, especially since the entire UI is HTML5/Javascript based. But one by one we managed to overcome them. How would you think scrolling in 3d works? :)
