Although there aren't many lg3d apps yet some of your Linux native apps may work but not Windows native apps. It's certainly a cool interface and worth playing with. Could this be a show that Sun is serious about getting on the desktop? Go to The Looking Glass Project Home for more info and download to Windows or Linux (Debian packages for Ubuntu Dapper are already available)."

Despite a lack of content for this new system it appears to have great potential. They are starting with advertising content for casinos and have already created software that grabs the 3D data from some FPS games and shows them in 3D.
