Here are some screenshots (soon to be replaced by an interactive demo) of an incredible prototype interface for networked and stand-alone filesystems, called Looking Glass. The UI is built around the idea of an infinite plane of infinite resolution, on which bitmapped representations of every document in the system are arranged by their creators. You nagivate the system by scrolling in three dimensions (left/right, up/down, and zoom in/out) and by passing around rectangle coordinates that define a selection area on someone's Looking Glass. The demo I saw of this earlier this month just blew me away — I can't wait until they put it online; the screenshots really don't do it justice.
(Thanks, Rael!)
