I disagree. The user interface is poorly designed. It immediately slides everything past in a blur. I wanted to look from smallest to largest, but when I click the icon to go to the smallest scale, I'm asked to "restart". If I use the scroll wheel and get to the smallest scale, I'm also asked to restart. When I restart, I'm shown the blur of objects again and have to go through the entire process over again.
Late, but - while it's not optimal, it's far superior to the submitted one, if for no other reason than the continuous scale reference.
Much better design. But really lacks on objects on the large scales and the automatic pop-ups make the thing almost unbearable to explore.
If the pop-ups make the thing unbearable, how could it have a better design?
