It's Solaris with "looking glass" for the GUI. I liked it a lot, but I simply don't use Solaris because I'm a gamer. If a geek ever developed a windows layer (api's that help install, run and contain windows programs and exes without an emulator) i'd most certainly use it as my main OS.
That's one problem these OS companies don't see. EXE or nothing. Sure, virus risks, but come on... EXE files!!!
@izlude2 ALL operating systems are easy to get viruses without EXEs, ANY file type can be a virus, trust me, I'm a programmer... most OSes without any viruses are like that because they are less popular so no one even bothers.
@izlude2 Actually, there is a `Windows layer' that'll run exes under Solaris without an emulator, and it can play most windows games. It's called WINE, Google it. I run my Steam games under it on my Linux box, it works great ^^
SUN got brought out by Oracle. To much to fast and to good. Just like when COMPAQ came out with the TC1000 tablet, HP brought it out but let this go to Apple. I lost money when COMPAQ was brought out...stock...
what ever happened to this? i remember installing it one time in solaris. it never did take off..... come to think of it, solaris never took off as a desktop OS. (simply wonderful for a server) the way this OS handled threads was way ahead of it's time. imagine games written for solaris.... ahhh............... wish some group would dedicate to bringing it to life.
Well, yeah. This project was first shown in 2003. That's THREE YEARS before the first version of Compiz was released. Check it out yourself, look for Project Looking Glass on Wikipedia. Compiz, while now better than this, was then non-existent or during a very early stage of development. Looking Glass is now inactive for a couple of years. It was just a technology preview, really impressive for 2003.
@pboxinator But, should the web be integrated, and essentially a vital & fundamental component to the machines-- the means to expanding forth into an enriching 3-D environment for all tasks will be truly great. It will essentially become a reality in & of itself.
Imagine how a site like FaceBook would adhere to such a tidal shift. Where our pages aren't flat stacks, but rather fully formed personal pamphlets for social endearment. Christ--I've been rambling,
@BryterAtlas Have you ever heard of a man named Pranav Mistry? He developed a mouseless mouse which would allow you to control your screen via predefined gestures & lasers. And of course, we have the iPad.
But the 'problem' with the iPad is that is web interface still shows sign of what we're all so used to; typing an adress, switching tabs, & yada yada yada.
everybody is trying to imitate apple... this thing looks good, but what... its so nice that you can move it like that, but they forgot to make it useful
check for videos tagged Metisse. It is an earlier, open, true 3d system (the window is 3d object over the surface and may have it's own full 3d objects). Compiz has only the 3d plane for 2d windows, making them look cool and distorted.
however, at 0:46 it is clearly shown that a 3d webpage here may show it's code,or comments, or whatsoever at the back side. Compiz is not for dualsided windows and there was this feature in Metisse.
wooo what a big crapt, NO THANKS, i prefer using xp with 98 visuals and have it the most simple and cleaned as possible, why would i want a OS that would make my GC to lose 40 fps in games? and the cpu to lose 50% of it's performance....
Are you Windows haters kidding me? Any Linux Distro that has ever come out the average everyday user would never figure out how to use it..Linux users spend more hours trying to make hardware and software work more than they use it..Look at Linux Forums filled with bogus answers from hardcore linux users.. OS X got a huge boost of interest because of the Iphone/Ipod... But yet Windows still is king of the PC's.. And about virus' I torrent like mad and haven't got one since win95 days..
@supadox I'd have to disagree with that. OpenOffice, VirtualBox and the Java programming language are all fantastic products to name but a few. Just because Solaris was a complete failure doesn't mean the company is.
Old forgotten consepts put together and inproved by sun.
They really seem to aim at the os market these days, but hey, why not, with microsoft messing up every single os they make, they might even stand a chance.
we need to start from the ground up with operating systems or computers in general i think and just start going with 3d. they could make like 2 mouse pads. the extra to represent forward/backward movement. whoever wants to be the next bill gates do this
its not clammered like vista and it has a slightly better look to it as well. there are many shortcuts and gadgets to play with, but windows 7 helps you get work done faster as well as have fun.
it may cost a lot of money but windows 7 is totally and completely worth it for its price.
1st off, mac isnt great. much less functions. also not everyone needs 64-bit apps. it depends on the user. i personally use 64 bit apps and it doesnt work slowly at all.
I like how MAC os fanboys like to brag about less viruses... when in fact there aren't many just because they aren't so popular... it is not hard to write a spyware for mac os... but I'd rathed spy on 5% of ppl using windows than on 5% of internet users using OSX
i do agree that it is a numbers/stats game. im just glad that i am on the OSX/unix/linux side of the fence, so that the only time i deal with cleaning virus/spyware is when i get paid
to go over someone's MS machine... and generally *nix OS's are more secure. but....anything can be hacked!
I don't find the 3D OS very useful... only useful thing is the ability to write notes on the back of the windows, but then again so what? is no like is going to increase productivity in an already busy working environment, on the contrary... it clutters the screen with 3D windows instead of hiding them or minimizing them.
The reason why 3D desktops like this have never taken off (other than doing transitions to switch windows - like in Vista / Windows 7) is because there is little wrong with the way things are now, Xerox PARC got it spot on, that's why it's changed very little from day one - it WORKS.
What you see on the video, is not a OS. It is a Looking Glass desktop from Sun what is running top of SunOS on the demo. And you can get that to Linux and NT OS's if wanted. The Looking glass demo is from 2003. It was developed long time before it and made with Java.
The Loogking Glass is just a desktop environment like KDE or GNOME.
@galagor7 Actually Looking Glass is just a desktop environment for SunOS, Linux, NT and so on. It has be available since 2003 and last stable is from 2007. The Looking Glass was one of the ideas why the Compiz Fusion window manager got started. Sun got something working out before MS had anything than a demovideo about Longhorn (Windows Vista). Demovideo what did not even turn to be the Vista.
@LTS1287 because avarage joe can not see or use the OS itself (example the Linux kernel, NT, XNU or SunOS what are typical OS's) but the software what draws the UI (CLI/GUI). Avarage joe believes that when you change the UI, you change the OS.
The saying "Seeing is believing" applies very well to software. You see only the software on monitor andthat is the OS because you have got such.
Lol this is not a new operating system its Looking Glass by sun you can download and run it as a separate desktop on Linux or you can download a program to try this on windows
i'd like to see a zooming enviroment, (which could obviously be done with 3d placement)
-e.g. generalization of the compiz plugin where you can zoom out and see all the desktop.
might be overly gimickly, but maybe auto window placement in 3d space would have more scope for placing things spatially coherent according to the users' access pattern
Not that impressive... What use is any of that anyway? Compiz- fusion is free (Linux) and has way cooler features, like multiple desktops on a 3-d cube, or flames and burning effects. Not to impressive, but nice video i guess...
probably the same words uttered by the suits at Xerox when their research department showed them the first mouse, windows GUI and WYSIWYG text editor back in the early 1970's
@pboxinator Well, every idea is a seed with the ability to grow into something magnificent. Imagine taking this concept further, to a point where the web isn't represented by some button on your desktop, but has rather integrated itself into the operating system itself! Consider the day when we turn on our computers to find not a normal desktop, but an integral 3D interface rendering your documents, your basic workbench, & of course- an internet/web environment streaming along the undercurrent.
@pboxinator Have you ever heard of a man named Pranav Mistry? He developed a mouseless mouse which would allow you to control your screen via predefined gestures & lasers. And of course, we have the iPad.
But the 'problem' with the iPad is that is web interface still shows sign of what we're all so used to; typing an adress, switching tabs, & yada yada yada.

Amazing...I can't wait until I finish doing all the ground work in my OS. I hate the idea of copying, but...the backwards play thing on the videos is AWESOME. And having two sides to a windows so you can flip it? Sweet. Thse are MINE!!! MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE!!!!
Apple makes good products... that are simply over priced. They make products of a superior quality, but are vastly overpriced. I have a $1000 PC laptop and run a variety of operating systems on it. An apple laptop of that price would be okay. This laptop is so good, words escape me... literally. ASUS is good. If Apple wants to succeed, it needs to suck it up and make things cheaper. It will not win otherwise.
Guy from apple: Behold the new Apple iPos, which stands for...*pause* incredible piece of shit! :D *crowd of morons claps* It can *useless feature after useless feature* and even *useless but flashy feature *crowd of morons goes wild with uproars of applause and yelling*
kind of. a lot of people blame them for stealing the iPhone design from the LG Prada (which Verizon sells as the "Dare"). The design of the Prada/Dare is very similar to that of the iPhone. However, they stole that from LG, not Motorola.
Your point is still basically correct - LG and Motorola are very similar companies.
On the other hand, so many other companies have stolen the iPhone design (big touchscreen, one button) and put it into their phones - Palm Pre, Blackberry Storm, many others.
Well, iPhone was not original in it's design. HTC touch was nearly the same thing and released almost a year earlier. So you can't really say people stole it from iPhone. iPhone just cought the attention of the public.
That's correct, but Apple bought the technology from Xerox, and Apple paid for it (though not much, because Xerox didn't notice how useful it could be). Apple didn't necessarily steal the GUI, but they didn't make it up themselves.
But they didn't realize what ability it had, so they laughed at its inventors, sold the technology to Apple, and kept making copiers, and now they're doing badly.
I suppose we can all learn a lesson from that. Don't laugh at something you don't understand.
@davidmcawesome Virtual desktops were way before Linux. Xerox did it first like most GUI things. Amiga had them before Linux. Apple bought the Dock from NeXT. NeXT might have stolen it, but there's a long list of candidates for whom they might have stolen it from.
The only way there can be a 3D operating system is if you're actually inside the computer with all the objects around you. otherwise, this is 2d with 3 dimensional effects.
noo??????????? really???????? y though you could put you hand in and grab things!!! come man.. of course its an effect, but you have to admit its kinda cool!!
this is fun to play with for about 5 minutes then you go back to normal settings ,
what use can it have?? either you work with text or graphics which get distorted or you play already 3d games -_-''
heres a hint , minimization automation and AI, I want to type in shift and then res-- and without it ebeing any recognized command my os will know what to do(lower the res) = saved time ...... is they key for a good os , this kinda crap.... when holographic displays come up well talk...
Does anyone find this useful? I only see more complex design and the waste of HW resources. Oh....and what does 3D OS means? This is only a 3D illusion of an interface of an operating system.

Imagine taking this concept further, to a point where the web isn't represented by some button on your desktop, but has rather integrated itself into the operating system itself! Consider the day when we turn on our computers to find not a normal desktop, but an integral 3D interface rendering your documents, your basic workbench, & of course- an internet/web environment streaming along the undercurrent.

@pboxinator Have you ever heard of a man named Pranav Mistry? He developed a mouseless mouse which would allow you to control your screen via predefined gestures & lasers. And of course, we have the iPad.
But the 'problem' with the iPad is that is web interface still shows sign of what we're all so used to; typing an adress, switching tabs, & yada yada yada.

@pboxinator Right, but consider how old this is though... If I remember rightly it's from late 2001 - early 2002 ... You can't exactly compare.

Apple makes good products... that are simply over priced. They make products of a superior quality, but are vastly overpriced. I have a $1000 PC laptop and run a variety of operating systems on it. An apple laptop of that price would be okay. This laptop is so good, words escape me... literally. ASUS is good. If Apple wants to succeed, it needs to suck it up and make things cheaper. It will not win otherwise.

The first versions of this were made years before OS X was finished. Apple stole the Dock.
Yes, I went there. Apple stole something.
Don't get me wrong - I love Apple. But everyone - Microsoft, Linux, Sun, Apple, and everyone else - has stolen from everyone else, at least a bit.
and Apple also stole workspaces (they call it expose). Workspaces were first available in Linux.

didnt apple also steal GUI interfaces from Motorola...
p1oooop 2 years ago
kind of. a lot of people blame them for stealing the iPhone design from the LG Prada (which Verizon sells as the "Dare"). The design of the Prada/Dare is very similar to that of the iPhone. However, they stole that from LG, not Motorola.
Your point is still basically correct - LG and Motorola are very similar companies.
On the other hand, so many other companies have stolen the iPhone design (big touchscreen, one button) and put it into their phones - Palm Pre, Blackberry Storm, many others.
davidmcawesome 2 years ago
Well, iPhone was not original in it's design. HTC touch was nearly the same thing and released almost a year earlier. So you can't really say people stole it from iPhone. iPhone just cought the attention of the public.

No , it was Xerox , Xerox as unbelievable it may sound made the firs computer with Grafical User Interface.
HANU8 2 years ago
That's correct, but Apple bought the technology from Xerox, and Apple paid for it (though not much, because Xerox didn't notice how useful it could be). Apple didn't necessarily steal the GUI, but they didn't make it up themselves.
However, they have stolen many other things.

But they didn't realize what ability it had, so they laughed at its inventors, sold the technology to Apple, and kept making copiers, and now they're doing badly.
I suppose we can all learn a lesson from that. Don't laugh at something you don't understand.

@davidmcawesome Virtual desktops were way before Linux. Xerox did it first like most GUI things. Amiga had them before Linux. Apple bought the Dock from NeXT. NeXT might have stolen it, but there's a long list of candidates for whom they might have stolen it from.

The only way there can be a 3D operating system is if you're actually inside the computer with all the objects around you. otherwise, this is 2d with 3 dimensional effects.
