Make your desktop 3D via Real Desktop!

Hello Humanoids . Hmm ,I am basically tired of people telling me that Bumptop's gonna arrive , its the next big thing and its gonna make your desktop like never before but its been in (invitational )  beta for ages . But my search for an alternative , made me come across this great software :

Real Desktop : Real Desktop gives your ordinary desktop new life and turns it into a Real Desktop. Enjoy the fascinating dynamics with revolutionary graphic rendition on your desktop.

Real desktop has three versions  :

• Uses very few resources
• Very efficient, thanks to the "Reality Engine"

•  Icons surfaces reflect the rest of the environment

Standard version , for this version you have to spend 24.95 dollars

Imagine kicking the icons with your Recycle Bin !  Fun , eh ?   Though the biggest problem is lack of customization . In other words , you cant add or edit any damn thing except rotating the icons, while if you spend a buck on them you get tons of interesting features and this is where Bumptop gets ahead of this application , tragic . Another bad point is the shiny blue background , darn my eyes .The graphics don't look so cool ,  this must be an old software but the graphics aren't so bad , but hey we are in 2008 , buzz .   And remember one important thing ,  the activation key can work on 3 PCs simultaneously ! Remember to have at least 512 MB Ram on your Vista and 256 on your XP otherwise its gonna be tough running this thing ! Download Real Desktop from this link    Hope you start having fun with your 3D desktop , Take Care ,

Exit Reality : The first ever 3D web browser !

Hello Humanoids . Sorry for such a delay , its pretty hard to blog even a single post in week these days , sigh . Lets get back to the topic ,

What does this browser do basically ? 


ExitReality founder Danny Stefanic said users of the software, which ran in tandem with popular browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox, would be "blown away" by the rendering of traditional two-dimensional web pages as full interactive 3D environments.

"It is the entire web in 3D -- making 40 billion virtual worlds -- and it will instantly transform 2D content into 3D," Mr Stefanic said.

The software then allows people to search for sites using the built-in search engine, which then instantly renders pages in 3D.  Individual web users are then shown as avatars (virtual people) in the same way as people are featured in virtual games.

What does this do to a normal 2D website ? 

Websites such as YouTube are transformed into movie theatres while social networking pages like MySpace are turned into virtual lounge rooms.
The software also enables people to see other web page visitors as avatars and interact with them, moving the Second Life model from the walled garden of the game to the entire web.

So how do you install this  ?

Just click on the download button below :



Complete the installation and see your Firefox browser , there shall be a new addon which will help you to go 3D .

While on Internet Explorer ( it works even will IE 8 eta 2 ) its prretty easy , you shall notice  an icon which says  Visit in 3D on the command bar .


So how do they get the money ?
Simple . ExitReality's revenue will be driven largely by its own search engine, as advertisers are more likely to want to be featured on 3D sites.

Did you test this on a website   ? 

Yes i did , and tragically it was disastrous . I tested :  news.yahoo.com on Internet Explorer 8 beta 2 .  I was pretty excited about the fact that my browser would be now 3D , but the moment it did make a 3D environment it shocked me . I have never ever seen such poor graphical environment in my life and  it is so heavy on the system it seems as if i am running a big programme on my P.C .   It was so bad , most of the links were hidden behind by some stupid  graphics , the only cool thing is the news is continuously coming on a separate  television screen and guess what ,  The text on the screen isn't visible !

Here are some of the screenshots of my journey from excitement to dissapointment 

 

  

 

What about its features  ?

• The most tidy feature :  instantly switch from 3D to 2D and back to 3D in matter of minutes... .
  

• You can change the 3D websites from the toolbar itself 

• You can Search , Chat , Edit , ask for help in the same toolbar

• There is an option to Walk in all the 4 directions , Hide/Show avatar , use torch , use gestures , etc .
  

• For for information , you can add buddies if you have singed up at exit reality

So what's the verdict ? 

The idea behind this web browser is 13 years old and what we did expect was something way better than this . The idea is really cool but where it lacks is the application itself.  The browser is becomes dead slow and you can't do anything except watch websites in 3D . By the way , who doesn't want his/her website in 3D ,so website or blog owners ,  submit your website/blog to this link .

What i recommend is that you give it a try once ,  opinions vary as you know hence giving it a try wont spoil anything . So now , enjoy the world of 3D on your web browser  !

Take Care ,
