It seems like not a year can pass without half a dozen people trying to reinvent the failure of 3D computer interfaces, and it's the same story every time: Some sunless nerd watches a downloaded copy of Minority Report in their cavement, and as soon as they see the computers they jump up and shout "This is UNIX, I know this!" before rushing to their computer and loosing yet another half-baked UI abomination upon the world.
This is the terrible secret that roils beneath their false universe: it is nothing more than a cumbersome menu, a rampart over which you must hoist yourself to accomplish the most basic tasks.
Next year I'm sure someone will do it all over again...

Very true, real 3D interface can't work on 2D screen
Oh come now Tony, don't you remember all those oh so cool 3D-VR Gopher clients back in the day? Or the promise that VRML would let online stores become "VR stores" that you could walk through and browse like a REAL store? Are you NOT committed to the vision at all? :)
Lol.
Yeah, 3D sucks.
