This project started back in 2003 or 2004. I still remember spending almost a whole weekend back in late 2004 building it and solving all the dependencies to make it work on some version of suse linux.
Compiz/Beryl came much later than that, and they mostly used ideas from both Looking Glass and MacOSX.
Although most of the things that LG3D does seem pointless now, back in 2004 they looked just amazing.

"Look what I can do with MY computer" it does not relieve from fatigue and poer comsumption. Does it ?

Hmm... a bit of hacking and this could do it to CompizFusion.
