Product Description
360desktop extends the Windows desktop metaphor into a Web-enabled, 360° panorama, increasing by many times the available desktop space. Anyone can create, keyword tag and then share their “360s” online, embedding widgets, videos, photos—any Web content or RIA’s, into 360 backgrounds built from their favorite photos. These stunning, multimedia desktop “360mashups” may be practical, promotional, commercial or simply fun, delivering an extended workspace that includes more of everything you work with and enjoy.
Market Opportunity
With more than 300 million Windows broadband users looking to better organize and personalize their desktop, developers need new ways to distribute, deliver and monetize content and applications. At the same time, brand advertisers struggle to communicate with annoying Web ads that we ignore while browsing—and can’t see when we’re not in the browser.
DEMO Says
The workspace in which we access both desktop and online content is quickly transitioning from the GUI as we know it, helped along by OS innovation from Apple and, some would say, its copycat Windows Vista. No longer content to face a static array of boxes onscreen, companies like 360desktop are developing engaging interfaces that change our basic interactions with digital content and, at the end of the day, are just plain cool. The company’s product, 360desktop, has particularly interesting implications for the future of advertising. Could it be that online ads may one day be unobtrusive and perhaps even welcome by users? Keep an eye on the 360desktop to find out.
