3D Sphere Interface for XP

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-often-you-envy-windows dept.

Brian Brian writes "I found this super cool 3D, inside a sphere, desktop interface. The videos really demonstrate it. I would love this built into OS X but it is just for Windows right now. And if nothing else, the paradigm is the coolest way to handle multiple screens." Here are a collection of screenshots & videos. I'm skeptical that it wouldn't be very practical, but it sure looks fun.

    Before you go making acusations about the limitations of OS X and Linux regarding their rendering capabilities, know what you are talking about. The majority of research based data visualtion systems (bioinformatics, database visualation, flight modeling, etc) are done in a UNIX VARIANT. Sure, you can say that Lightwave runs on Windows, or 3d studiomax...but you are really coming at it from a terrably ignorant position. Case and point, consider any rendering farm. Most who want to be as efficient as possible use UNIX - and I can't think of one rendering farm that actually uses Windows. Know what you are talking about before you unzip Bill's pants, please.
