this is really great - 3d in the web as a UX tool is so amazing the possibilities it provides... this is similar to http://www.berriart.com/sidr just mentioned as well - i am sure you could incorporate the effects here into a responsive menu as well - if only IE would catch up or fade away (faster)
It would be really nice to see a demo that works on a mobile device - I think if you made it a click event to trigger the effect instead of "hover" - it would work really well for mobile and desktop...
It's a bit jarring at first but I think it's a really cool concept. I may experiment with slowing it down slightly to see if that makes the transition a bit more smooth.

[edit] the IE8 fallback is really nice
