ok! It's a nice app, it runs awfully good/smooth/fast and what I love about this a lot, loadtime is minimal.

I've done some playing in the app, for an Alpha it's really stable, needs some more work and I've seen in the options that moving is not supported yet, but I'm very curious when that is possible.

You knew that M$ has very recently registered a model for 3d user environments ? Would be great if this work get's done before M$ is done, then we have something to compare.

Keep up the nice work, I hope one day you have a product for sale here.

Hi Rudolf

First of all, thank you for your feedback it is really important for us.

The moving was limited in the environment to prevent user from disorientation. Actually it will be very useful if you describe what exactly moving you want.

Yes, we know about Microsoft 3d user interface development, but what model do you mean? Would you please provide us with some link?

The next release - Aximion 2.0 will be fully functional product with a lot of new features and will be released in the beginning of September.

Hi Mightywill!

Thanks for the reply!

Well, I love 3DNA, I kind of assume you know that app, it's a 3D control app, not only a desktop but also more, like a browser pane filled with previews of the website, a control box for the controlpanel of windows, and so on. In 3DNA you can move like you're in a 3D shooter, that's real cool to do. More info about 3DNA:

Official site (not updated, store unavailable, support unavailable and community dead/removed): http://www.3dna.net/
Better info site: http://dracolich.webs.com/ (also downloads)

About the M$ environment: http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/07/microsoft-patent-details-a-3d-desktop-interface-with-a-room-for/ more info there!

Wow! An upcoming release! :D Can't wait till september! :D, thumbs up!

Good luck with the development!

Hi Rudolf

Yes, In the very early versions of Aximion there was an ability to move over the environment, later we decided to focus on achieving maximum usability but using free moving user could be lost in the space which is unacceptable. At the same time further research and development can bring this feature back as we find usable form for it.
Our main aim is to make Aximion is really usable 3D environment which mean all user operations must require no more then two actions(click, move, gesture) so you be able to operate within it as fast as possible and at the same time utilize all power which 3D space can give us. 3DNA was very interesting project but it is dead now and we must understand and take into account mistakes they have done.

Yep, I`m abreast of Microsoft Task Gallery, but it is more then 10 years old project and as far as I know it is suspended or even closed. May be MS has plans to reanimate it but I`ve heard nothing about it. In any case thank you for information we will keep an eye on it.

Aximion 2.0 will much powerful then previous version so development takes so much time :)

Thank you Rudolf, our users feedback is very important for us so please don`t hesitate if you will have any thoughts about Aximion.

Hi Mightywill!

Yes it's indeed important to learn from other's mistakes. 3DNA seems also another kind of idea/spirit, personally I like having a house to decorate with my own fav pics and environment to play with is very nice, but not that useful. That's why my interest in Aximion, it seems to be as you say, pointed to be a useable 3D environment.

Can't wait for the updated!

Power to you.

I agree, 3DNA has own individual charm and of cause we will try to implement every good idea from it.
But a usability should always be the main aim.

Thank you, Rudolf!

So, 2.0alpha has multiscreen support ? I've checked the changelog, couldn't find anything on the 2.0 release. No moving yet in 2.0 :( Other than that, it seems to work on XPSP3 here.

Hi Rudolf

Aximion 2.0 Alpha has a very limited set of features and its key feature is ability to run on the Windows Vista/7. So with 2.0 Alpha we have just wanted to give Мista/7 users something to try. This release also has a multiscreen support and it should work.

We need to apologize but the development of Aximion 2.0 takes more time then we have planned because we have to spend much efforts for some research of a new 3d graphic interface paradigm that will be introduced in the 2.0 release.
So we are going to present something much more advanced that you have seen in previous releases and we have to ask you for a little more patience.
