Two views of the 3D desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| Croquet is a completely different beast. Foregoing the standard
| WIMP-style interface, Croquet focuses on an immersive 3D networked
| environment. A direct descendant of the MMORPG aesthetic, Croquet
| replaces the desktop metaphor with an immersive world. The mouse
| pointer becomes an avatar. Applications become interactive objects.
| Even "legacy" X11 applications are transformed into collaborative
| environments, allowing multiple people to work or play
| simultaneously.
