You know usually I don’t give much about ads on website. Usually. But this one interested me. It loaded and then said “Spin the cube!”. Which I tried. The ad obviously praises the new NVIDIA chips which are now also built into new Macs (and I think MacBooks).
However what impressed me the most was that it appears to be a compositing algorithm in Flash – and compositing is something I only know best from Compiz Fusion, for Linux.
Fortunately I was able to create a screen grab.
As you spin the cube, you can clearly see items hovering above the surface and being re-rendered as you spin the cube – so far widely used in Compiz’s signature virtual desktop cube.
A original Compiz Cube in action – also with elements (windows) floating above the surface.
I found copying the Compiz Cube in Flash impressive!
