Chris Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 This is pretty cool. Sun have an R&D project on the go looking at the possiblities of desktop innovation. There's a video here of their 3D desktop:http://www.sun.com/software/looking_glass/demo.xml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 That does look cool, even to a non-geek."The dominant company doesn't want to show you that" heheh, subtle. Are you listening, Bill???Aw crap, maybe I am a geek... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellchecker Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 it's been out for ages, i tried it out last year at work. it took ages to get it working, and once i did, it was a bit disappointing to say the least. many glitches to be ironed out. however that was over a year ago so hopefully it has progressed somewhat, and it is good to see some people looking for a desktop paradigm of the future.

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 It looks like a huge fuss about absolutely fuck all. I mean, Windows has shiny buttons and colourful desktops and transparency but i turn them all off because it just drains my resources. I suspect this is very processor hungry and for what, so that you can spin a window around? this may look good to nerds but the truth is it is basically useless and as far as i am concerned the trade off of performance over usefulness will be far too high.
