+We have introduced procedurally generated unique textures
+as a way of visualizing the identity of data.
+While the method is general and
+applicable whenever data has identity,
+it is at its best when the same data node can be reached through
+several ways, and fragments of nodes are seen. In such a case,
+it can enhance user's orientation and sense of location.

 Also, text readability on the generated backgrounds depends 
 strongly on the text scale; making it easy for the user to zoom
 fluidly in and out helps.

+We are currently working on implementing
+similar algorithms on ATI hardware, due to their release
+of a Linux driver.
+The new graphics chips, ATI R300 and NVIDIA NV30 support
+a great deal more of procedural texturing and it will
+be interesting to apply the same criteria there.
+The algorithms can be further developed: simulating lighting and
+a rough surface could produce good results.
