This ferris wheel-like arrangement, created by seniors at Boston University, may be the next elegant solution for managing unwieldly amounts of information. The three-dimensional interface organizes computer contents by their relationships rather than their physical position on a hard drive. Each spiderweb thread marks the ties between folders holding contents related to the open file folder (center, in purple). The system was built with OpenGL on a Linux platform and could be applied to a variety of heirarchical databases, from corporate organizational charts to ecosystem data.
