From Ubutu’s wiki:
Looking Glass – If you wanna dazzle Vista wannabees, there’s the package you’d want to consider. A 3D Desktop with much less requirements than Vista
Here is a demo:
Below are the instructions on how to install Looking Glass on Ubuntu:
-
1. Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Add one of these two-liners, whichever is more applicable (most likely stable will be the one to go with):
For stable
# LG3D repsoitories
deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian stable contrib
For testing
# LG3D repsoitories
# deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian testing contrib
For unstable
# LG3D repsoitories
# deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian unstable contrib
(Since a stable version is suggested, it is the one uncommented)
3. Save the file and close it
4. Update the repositories using the following command
sudo apt-get update
5. Install looking glass using the following command
sudo apt-get install lg3d-core
Stop here. Smile broadly.
Although there are less requirements for Looking glass, the video card requirements still apply ;)
