3D interface HTPC

Saw this new product today and it looks pretty cool

Has a 3d rotating interface for the main HTPC menu.

So whens media-portal getting a 3d interface?

I thought it looked pretty ugly but that's my opinion. The MP team would probably make a nicer one.

ships with the nvideo purevideo, but it still looks ugly

_man_ · 2006-10-12, 00:20

Ugly.

But 3D interface like iTunes Coverflow is cool indeed !

yep my vote is butt ugly as well, although i think having images that are 3D with shadows on menus is the way to go, but not a 3D landscape background like they have

I installed the trial version just to see what it has to offer.

Ummm... nothing.

Unreal Tournament reload sounds when the menu revolves. I need to download codecs to look at pictures? I could go on, but uninstalled it rather quickly.

Nice idea, just not nicely built.
