I don't really like this concept, but I do like this guy and his other work.<p>What I don't like:
It isn't obvious that there are other thumbnails other than the first one. If a user wasn't aware that there are other thumbnails to view they would never think to hover over the image.
I like the concept. However, to me, it was a little bit too easy to accidentally move my mouse outside the thumbnail area when trying to look through some pictures.<p>Could you try extending the mouseover area beyond the images themselves? I'm not sure if that would be more intuitive, but I think it's worth trying.
Hakim El Hattab, the guy behind this concept, is on fire right now, with innovative UI concepts rolling out pretty much every month.<p>If you're interested in bleeding edge HTML5 experiments, you can watch Paul Irish interview him here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogumRA9LxR4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogumRA9LxR4</a>
This is basically unusable with a mouse pointer because the bounding box is too small. The user interface is also non-obvious, at first I didn't know that I could move my mouse around and I would not have discovered it if this wasn't a tech demo.
Has promise, just needs some tweaks.<p>I would try to make it 'less sensitive' when transitioning, so the user doesn't accidentally switch images.<p>Also there needs to be a way to tell that there is a layer of images. Maybe some relative positioning on the ones that are hidden?<p>Cool idea though.
Interesting idea, the interaction would get very difficult with more pictures in the stack. Also lacks a way to work in mobile. But you are really onto something here, would be interesting to see how this can be improved!
I like the concept, but the thumbnail should somehow show that there is a 'stack' of photos that you can page through. At first glance, it's not obvious that you can hover over a thumbnail to see more.
I'm not a big fan of the concept, but it's an interesting tech demo.<p>Now, compare the page as designed versus the page without CSS enabled. The one without CSS enabled is a much better user experience.
I like this, but could you make it a bit slower? Slowing it down would make it a little bit more accessible for those who have mouse trouble. Also keyboard keys!
