Metisse — you thought you knew what 3D was?
What is Metisse?
Metisse is a graphical environment created as part of the In Situ project. It offers innovative interactions between windows and gives you as many ways to manipulate windows on your desktop as you can imagine. Metisse seems to be a 3D desktop like Compiz or Beryl, but it’s actually a different thing — a unique concept for Human-Computer Interface. Metisse does not require a 3d-accellerated desktop to work. It is not necessary to have a supercomputer to use it. Metisse performs reasonably even on elderly computers. You can download it as a LiveCD with Mandriva One 2007 and GNOME (KDE will be added later — with version 4). It is also available standalone, to be used in any other GNU/Linux distribution.
