“Metisse is a pioneering French research project to
improve human-computer interfaces. It is not exactly a 3D desktop,
but a windowing environment which makes possible new interactions
with windows.

“For example, Metisse allows you to reduce considerably the
number of required clicks to copy and paste from one window to
another: if a window masks an area where a user interacts, Metisse
will “roll” these windows to make this area
visible.”
