While it's entirely possible that someone will eventually come up with a way of efficiently using the extra organisational elegance of a design in 3 dimensions, so far people have put very little thought into what can be done with them. It is also true that without a series of conventions to fall back on with regards to things like item placement (just think: when was the last time you clicked an "OK" button that was at the top of a form?) design and use can become a lot more complex. There was a *front-page* article in the mX a couple of weeks back about this 'new' system that showed web pages as 3D rooms... shows what they know about revolutionary technology (or the lack thereof). Bloody stupid.
