CowardlyCustard: Okay, so this isn't the best demo ever produced...but think of the possibilities...Imagine being able to look around the side of your currently maximised browser window to see what applications are running behind it...Imagine an exploded diagram of, say, a car, that you could peer around from different angles...We think this technology has potential.
