This method allows users to utilize 3D capabilities of their computers, resulting in having a stunning 3D environment and more user-friendly touch.

LG3D developed by Sun and Open-Source community, using Java, for several years, and recently hit the v1.0 mark. It allows people to use new LG3D applications as well as their existing X-applications on the new 3D desktop, while replacing the traditional “Window Manager” by the new 3D “Scene Manager”.
