Sun’s ‘Looking Glass 3D’ Desktop Interface
Sun has just released its new application that they call as the ‘Looking Glass 3D’ interface. The application can be compared to the Quartz Extreme Effects that are integrated in Mac OS X and the much popular Vista’s Aero Glass Interface. The interface allows the users to treat the windows as 3D objects floating in space. Users will also be able to flip the windows to see some hidden programs or some special commands that are displayed on the reverse of the windows. The application has a Dock-style launch bar and the windows can also be moved in between virtual operating systems. The application is developed in Java that means that it is platform independent. Moreover, since the application runs as a Java layer on top of the main operating system, so it does not change the performance of the main operating system. The application is available as a free download for all the major operating systems. Via: electronista
