Sun is planning to open source the Project
Looking Glass. The project is an experimental 3D desktop system written in Java
which runs under Linux. Sun calls it an innovation. I had blogged about
it before. But reading Jon's post it
looks like Microsoft Research had a similar
tool called TaskGallery long
time ago. Check out its video here.
It looks ugly though but remember it was done in 1999 when video cards were not
so common and were underpowered for 3D.
Anyway check out the interview with
Hideya Kawahara, the creator of Project Looking Glass. Check out the screenshots and video.
It would be nice to see how this evolves.
