hyperbolic browser api (I missed)

Hi Nutchers

I hope this email is noise in this community. I am now working on
something like hyperbolic browser (
http://www.acm.org/sigchi/chi96/proceedings/videos/Lamping/hb-video.html
). And I remembered that there were some apis written by java. I got
it through click the blog address in email signature. It is
interesting but I miss it now:(

If you are the author of the blog, could you pls tell me the url? Big thanks

Regards
/Jack

Hey Gavin

It's quite some time since we met in San Francisco.

How are you? Hope all is well.

Who patented this keyword:
HYPERBOLA
Algebraic equations? Power of three...
1, 2, 3, ...

I thought only PhotoShop has patented plugins!

Yes. I looked at it some years ago as a way to visualise hypertext...  
very nice. Something close to it is at www.thebrain.com

Yes, that's the funny part... it's really about an algorithm...

The company is called Inxight if I recall correctly.

http://www.inxight.com/

Their hyperbolic view is very sweet, I have to admit. There were some 
very interesting discussions concerning that patent as well -- people 
pointed out the actual patent covers a _mathematical concept_ well 
predating last century... so it can be hardly called an invention. 
Although it took some genius to apply it to computer-aided structure 
visualization....

Pitiful, I know. It's not Xerox that has it though... a spin-off  
company I can't remember the name of right now...

A patent on a piece of software? Unheard of!

Fortunately, most of the world's population lives outside the US of A... ;-)

Hyperbolic views are patented...
