carsten waldeck designed an interesting information visualization software:

"the "liquid 2D scatter space" is one of the many visual interactive spaces (ispaces) of the "iworld" visualzation modules.

it has it's greatest strength in comparing a lot of information objects at the same time by making it possible to perceive very high information densities with up to 7 quality dimensions simultaneously.

this is achieved mainly by optimizing visual interactive details and introducing liquid browsing as an interaction method to solve the overlapping problem of interactive 2D scatter graphs.

though empirical studies still have to be done, we believe that L2DSS can be very useful as a versatile and very flexible ispace in a wide range of applications (like file systems, media libraries, map browsing, email,...in principle: wherever we use sortable lists or table views today...which is almost every application). the more items you need to see (or the smaller the screenspace you have), the more helpful L2DSS will be.

it’s ability to effortlessly adapt to different screen sizes and allowing very high information densities makes it especially interesting for mobile applications."
