But what IS it? Have you guys looked into it?" I downloaded its 90 MB late last night. It's an 'academic' project featuring a futuristic OS 3D environment running through the Squeak environment on Windows or Mac. It requires a supported 3D accelerator (however, it didn't work with my Voodoo5 in hardware mode so it was painfully slow).

While I think this is cool, how easy would it be to use it? I mean if it acts and responds anything like the software that slightly resemble this (sorry i can't think of any right now, it was from adobe), the way to move around. It would be quite frustrating. Because you would end up getting something different than you intended, just because your "movement" was off a little ways. But that is just speculation on my part, it very well may be as easy as pie to navigate through.
