Site and concept are great. I find some of the workspaces too arranged and contrived. Hi-Res still rule.

what other sites are doing this type of 3d thing? this has all got to be custom as3 right? otherwise we'd be seeing it everywhere.

ukit, yea a reason to spend time on the site was definitely a concern while developing it. 2 days before launch i ended up whipping together an rss reader which grabs economist.com articles from the selected sections that each featured person had chosen. it's not much, but it at least made something on the site dynamic.
i think dynamic content, now more than ever, is the major concern with the flash platform. it's probably on its last leg, but at least snazzy 3d environments haven't been ported to JS yet :-/
- Excellent work...I was just being a cynical bastard as usual;) The transitions are amazing.ukit

It's a nice showcase I guess.
I'm not really convinced that 3d interfaces are ever going to be at all useful though. It not like you could go here and find something specific because it's totally counter-intuitive.
