I've read about some 3d UIs, but I've never really tried it. I remember coming across a study once that said that we actually are more into 2D UIs than 3D UIs. The line of reasoning included the fact that our eyes are positioned facing forward, unlike frog's eyes which can watch a great deal more space at a time. Logically it makes sense that as long as our interface is 2D, 2D UIs will definitely have a place. =) 3D would be fun if our interface was more intuitive. <g> I suck at Quake. Actually, if we could get virtual reality really working - I'd love to walk around with one of those HUDs beaming a screen into my eye.. There have been some projects like wearcomp.org that propose 'mediated reality' - looks promising... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Sacha Chua <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3 BS CS Ateneo geek =) Ateneo Cervini-Eliazo Networks (ACENT) tel: 63(2) 426-6001 loc 5925 BOFH excuse #66: bit bucket overflow _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
