1st Installment - The graphical Interface shown below extends the ring-shape graph visualization to the 3D domain and it goes through three different configurations, the last of which could be associated to displaying a number of users linked to a certain resource.

The purpose of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is to facilitate the conveyance of information processed by the computer and to allow the further data processing phase that takes place in the human brain. Human beings' necessities are definitely specific and the user interface has to comply with such requirements. One of those necessities is based on the consideration that people make meaning out of the surrounding reality all the time so the way an interface reflects a set of visualized data can bring about specific reactions in the user's perception and actually shifting it. That's also why it's so important to consider the subtle balance between showing the complexity in its full magnitude and keeping it from overwhelming the user's senses.

My intent here is to introduce comfortable and attractive light-weight 3D interfaces for browsing / building complex linked data-sets.
