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.

      Because EVERY SINGLE SLASHDOT POST WITH PICTURES... gets slashdotted.

      It's almost as if the slashdot editors are like unable to learn such a basic concept. Mirror the pictures or don't bother. Cuz like all you get are 1000s of idiots like me replying when I haven't even seen the "so amazing it must be on slashdot" article yet.

    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.
