I recently stumbled upon a project called Sequoiaview. As I always had a fascination for data visualization, this program immediately drew my attention. Sequoiaview generates organic-like views of the files and folders on your hard drives using cushion treemaps.

The program was created by the technical university of Eindhoven, The Netherlands and can be downloaded for free from their website. I’ve been toying with Sequoiaview for a few hours and I really like it so far.

I added a couple of screenshots of some maps I generated below (click an image for full size version):

My D: drive, green blocks represent .mp3 files…
