This is the best demonstration of the new Xgl technology that I have seen yet. If you aren't really up-to-date on what's going on the eye-candy and graphics features area, check this out.
My observations: - They didn't show a non-responding process of glxgears, even though it was already running... why? I guess it doesn't work yet? - They didn't show a Xgl-based app (modded glxgears, fish, globe) at a rotation. Is it shown *on* the desktop, *on* the viewscope, or *in front of* or *behind* the desktop? - What if I want more than 6 virtual desktops? Maybe just a large sphere for the desktop with an optional lens on the viewpoint to make the seen region look square?
Other than that, looks kind of cool. Too bad for me that I don't trust hardware to render my primary desktop (GLX is disabled, even though supported). ;)
