3-D Interaction Development Environment
Screen-shot of Metisse for FVWM
MAGINE to yourself a world (or a desktop environment rather) where everything lies in 3-D space. Imagine interaction with objects, which takes into account the ‘depth’
Z
of one’s arm, rather than just the (X,Y)
coordinates — those that are delivered from the conventional mouse.
Croquet is an intersting project that provides an SDK for 3-D environment. It could potentially make it all a reality. Pseudo-3d (stereo imaging) displays exist already.
