Commercial 3D UI and for Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-see dept.

Lord Carmack wrote in to point us to Objective Reality's homepage which claims that it will be releasing an OpenGL based 3D interface for linux. There isn't much there, but it at least looks interesting- although it also looks commercial so I'm skeptical about how much acceptance it will see.

  1. How about a 3D window manager? by NickElm · · Score: 3

    Check out the 3Dwm website for something quite similar... This is a three-dimensional window manager for X with OpenGL support. It's still in early development, though. Another cool app is GLACE, which supports running X applications on 3D surfaces.

  2. Berlin Consortium by V. · · Score: 3

    I'm sure that a lot of people already know this, but for those who don't....

    The Berlin Consortium appears to have similar
    goals( altho it's a little hard to tell from the
    somewhat vague PR by Objective Reality ) w/ the
    advantage of being GPLed. Berlin has the
    disadvantage of being rather in young in
    devel. terms tho.
