What if windows were translucent so you could see multiple windows at the same time? What if you could tack a note to yourself right on the Web page you're viewing? What if your CD or movie database became a 3D jukebox? In the future, innovations from Sun Microsystems will make these scenarios a reality. Project Looking glass, still in early development, will harness these Java technology-based developments to bring 3D windowing capabilities to the desktop, offering a far richer user experience for work and "play."
