ShapeNet - Yahoo search results in 3D

Hi

Just wanted to show an old idea of mine. I wrote it in Processing 0148 (a good version by the way :-).

The purpose of ShapeNet is to get myself to look at more than the first 10 hits of a search at Google. If I only evaluate 10 out of 2.5 million hits, or even click ”next ten” two(!) times, I haven’t looked at more results than in this one ”page” and yet bored in the process. Some people may argue that they get what they want in the first page. I still just have to believe that there might lie some hidden goodies behind on of those 2.5 million hits.

The display of the searchresults of (ONE word, no more please) are focused on the summary since this is the main ”persuader” of how the page is related to my own intentions. The potential for several enhancements (categorisation/animation/colors) is not yet fully explored.
And, it puts the ”surfing” back in websurfing.

You find the whole thing, downloadable and all, under the page ShapeNet on http://www.visualinformation.org/project-shapenet/

I like it!  I found the right click drag navigation a little odd (wouldn't behave as expected - perhaps if it didn't reset on right click), but overall it's very cool.  You going to post the code?  Love the sounds too, where can I get those. Smiley
