The Sugar Interface being used in the One Laptop Per Child project has drawn attention to Zooming User Interfaces (ZUIs), which create an intuitive information landscape while optimizing the use of limited screen space on mobile computing devices. With ZUIs, the user moves "further away" to get an overview, or "closer" for more detail, while keeping a sense of orientation and structure that traditional pop-up windows and dialogs can't match (see original ZUI research papers). To get a sense of what 3D zooming interfaces might look and feel like, check out the Christmas Zoom and Zoom Quilt applets (both require Flash).
