Installing the ‘Project Looking Glass’ 3D Desktop on Ubuntu
Project Looking Glass is an open source development project which evolved from a Sun Microsystems advanced technology experiment.
In a nutshell, Project Looking Glass is a 3D desktop environment which aims to rethink the traditional way in which users interact with computers. Its based around java and looks to be pretty funky.
What’s more - there are .debs available that are compatible with Ubuntu so I thought I’d give it a try!
I’ve documented the installation of project looking glass on Ubuntu here on the just uber wiki. If you’d like to have a go at doing this yourself just follow the steps. Feel free to update the wiki with your findings.
Before you rush off and start having a go, please bear in mind that looking glass is in it’s infancy. Its a great idea, but you probably won’t be switching to it from gnome just yet… For a tutorial detailing how to use looking glass go here.
Have fun!
