Pure Publicity For NASA, But I Like It
I don't often link to stuff that's pure advertising, but in this case I made an exception.
Go check out NASA @ Home and City.
Click on the link and you'll open a new window that showcases an impressive, interactive overview of the impact research at NASA has had on our day-to-day lives.
You can view by home or city, and then by room or part of the community. Once in a specific area, you're given the opportunity to click on and learn about innovations ranging from memory metals to edible toothpaste.
What I liked is that not only is the information interesting, it's also really well-presented. The controls are intuitive, and the animations between sections smooth.
This is a truly dynamic example of how information can be presented online.
So if you're interested in NASA, cool new technologies, or excellence in Flash interface design, go check this out. You won't be disappointed.
