Folks, we've just seen our first portfolio loaded up through Adobe's Tiltviewer. At first we found it neat--then freaking annoying as we couldn't easily zoom in on the thumbnail we wanted to see and caused unintended turning and tilting with errant mouse movements.
Check it out yourself and let us know what you think, a sample portfolio is here. Is Tiltviewer awesome, or annoying?
By the by the designer whose work we were trying to see (at the link above) is Liong Mah, the NYC-based knife designer behind Columbia River Knife & Tool's Eat'N Tool, a sort of multi-tool update to the venerable Spork.

The portfolio begs the question: why do I need to look at skewed views of 2D images? The tool needs to answer why I would be turning nuts or bolts with my eating utensils? Wouldn't a knife make more sense? This is less useful than a cork-screw on a hobo knife.
Otherwise, nice finish for both with a great level of craftsmanship.
I also find the erratic movement a little distracting. I think a better method would be to use CoolIris instead. It functions as the same thing, however the movement seems smoother and more predictable.
