So I was over at Wired reading this article and one of the things they talk about is Sun Microsystem’s Project Looking Glass. I watched the demo and once they got through the boring corporate speak and actually showed off the technology, it looks pretty sweet. It’s essentially a first-step towards a pseudo-3D working environment for the computer desktop. It allows you to rotate an application window in three dimensions.
This technology probably won’t actually go anywhere that the public will see it for a few years, but it’s neat to see what could come in the future.
