The Fliptych Interface

Who invented fliptych? Was it in use by others prior to coverflow?

Mick,

I did (I hope), but the name just came to me. Thought I'd coin it--officially. Certainly sounds better than "the CoverFlow interface".

With so many clones of CoverFlow's browsing metaphor in existence and on the horizon, we need a general name for the principle itself. This allows for clear deliniation between the original concept, and it's various implementations.

For example: "OmniDazzle's preferences dialog employs the fliptych interface".

how do you create the effect of the coverflow to rotate in an emerging circular way, where it rotates to a big picture, then fades away,such as in the website, www.peachclaire.com?
