Hi,

I just finished watching a demo of Sun's Looking Glass Project.
http://www.sun.com/software/looking_glass/details.xml

It is very interesting and looks like part of what we hoped to see in Active Desktop. Here is a demo by Sun Microsystems: http://www.sun.com/software/looking_glass/demo.xml

There is also a download that you can try in Windows: https://lg3d.dev.java.net/lg3d-on-wi...ml#Downloading

Supposedly, it works much better in Linux at this time but development is still in the early stages for Windows..

I might try it later if I get a break.

Happy New Year to all at VistaBabble....

Update:

I downloaded it to Vista and apparently it doesn't work with Vista yet.

However, I installed it with XP and it is fun to play with. It has more 3D than Vista. You can turn windows 360 degrees and even see the back of them.

Try it out. Hopefully Vista will incorporate some of this technology..
