“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.”
