Il “wobblamento” della finestra di Xp pare Compiz..
Interessante il multi-touch (che parrebbe prendere sempre più piede, nell’ultimo lustro..) ed la 3D room, che cambia prospettiva in base alla “visione” dell’utente.
Avevo già visto gli esperimenti di Lee in altri suoi video, mi domando quando questo inizierà a prendere una forma più definita, passando ad applicazioni a GUI o ZUI anche soltanto primitive.
Molto interessante la piega che questi progetti stanno prendendo, sia parlando del multi-touch (realtà concreta da anni, alla portata delle massa “grazie” al business Apple..) sia parlando del 3D (c’era un plugin per Compiz che simulava l’effetto 3D degli occhialini verde/rosso..
).
E, al solito, bel lavoro.
Complimenti.
