Airtightinteractive.com - TiltViewer - 3D Flickr Images

Why view Flickr images in 2D when you can see them with one more dimension? TiltViewer pulls images from Flickr's Interestingness list and adds them to a 5 x 5 tilting box. Clicking on a picture will allow you to zoom in to grasp the 3D effects. Not only does the frame of the picture arise from the back of the grid of 5 x 5, but the actual picture itself looks like it's popping off the screen. If you click on the arrow image, you can see the picture flip around so that you can check out the details for that picture and go to the photographer's individual Flickr page in a new window. Pictures slowly flip off the page as new images come in to take their place on the grid. If you add a query string to the end of the tiltviewer url, you may customize the images displayed based on user id, group id, tags, and more. Now you can also purchase TiltViewer-Pro to customize a TiltViewer for use on your own website. Enjoy the next dimension.

"TiltViewer allows you to browse Flickr's most interesting images in a 3D space. It's designed to provide a fun, intuitive user experience. Images are pulled from Flickr's Interestingness list."

This application is completely different from other variations on ways to view your Flickr photos. The site is attractive and fun to use. They won a Favorite Website Award in October, 2007.

Could they make the site more user friendly so that anyone can try out entering customized tags or usernames without having to figure out the code? Could they make TiltViewer its own site so that people could come across it and navigate through it more easily instead of through the portfolio styled blog?
