From Melbourne comes this great site developed by Michael Battle for DTDigital.
Michael has devised a cool transition engine that makes for a fine navigation experience through a great deal of information.
He explains the concept behind the site and how the engine works in his very commendable blog:
The idea was that I would create an engine that would allow the car to essentially be the puppeteer of an endless supply of dots – for example, when the car needed a road, the dots would swarm to form a road.
The DotEngine was created and I devised a number of demonstrations to illustrate its versatility. (…) The DotEngine prototype also had an editor, called the DotEditor, in which I could pre-program and test dot configurations and patterns. I built in everything from music visualisation patterns, to particle generators, to a dot-text and heightmap rendering system.
Great job, Michael, and congratulations for your wedding!

Just checked out the site. Good job but needs some cleaning up. I got many action script errors, and links showing another links info.

Nice site but it seems to occasionally get stuck on the white dots with nothing happening.
