A press release from Mandriva:
Paris, January 25th 2007 - Mandriva integrates the window system Metisse in its next distribution and unveils this technology by rendering a Live CD available.
Metisse is a window management tool in 3D developed by two French researchers from the In Situ project, available under the GPL license, for Linux only. Contrary to a 3D graphical environment (a "cube"), Metisse offers an innovative way to manage windows: only the windows move, making the possible variations endless. Metisse is not a 3D desktop but a Human-Computer Interface (HCI) technology.
