LiveCD Lets You Try Out Project Looking Glass

Posted by timothy on from the slick-interface dept.

remember_beos writes "Sun created Project Looking Glass (LG3D) as a 'proof of concept' not long ago. It is an environment for Linux, like KDE or Gnome, but with some really great 3D functionality. More than just eye-candy, LG3D provides functional use of an extra spatial dimension on your desktop. Now there is a LiveCD for us all to try it out."

    This project owns much to Chevol Davis who contributed unvaluable serverspace and bandwidth.
    Nice to know that they appreciate all the crappy things they are given :) (at least according to current usage)

    Yes. And your OSX apps as well. They're twice as lickable in 3D!!! Even better you can use this over E17 for a thrice lickable win32/linux/osx environment tour de force. K apps have a little trouble sometimes though. Sorry.

    You bet. These video cards can handle marathon 12 hour gaming sessions, but they're gonna break like matchsticks under the burden of running a WINDOWING system.

    Nice going, you managed to slashdot the sun, I guess we'll have to implode Saturn now.

    I am one of many. My idea is not unique, nor do I expect my voice alone to sway you. I speak in a chorus of opinion.
