The second link on the page is better

Rather than the Zoom Quilt, which is fun and pretty but not much more than a bit of eye candy, there was another link[1] on that page by Ken Perlin no less. This has a simple Java Applet about a zooming interface that could have more relavance to User Interface design. It looks like it would be particually well suited for use with compound documents and OpenDoc[2] like enviroments.

Cool looking enviroment, reminded me of OpenCroquet[3] which is always a good thing. Nice to see people pushing UI adn actually doing something different.
