Ladies and gentlemen, it is the second decade of the second millennium and we are still kicking around the same 2D interface we got three decades ago. Sure, Apple debuted a few apps for OSX 10.7 that have a couple more 3D flourishes, and Microsoft has had that Flip 3D for a while. But c’mon, 2011 is right around the corner. That’s Twenty Eleven folks. Where is our 3D virtual reality? By now, we should be zipping around the Metaverse in super-sonic motorbikes.

Granted, the capability of rendering complex 3D environments has been present for years. On the Web, there already are number of solutions – Flash, three.js in canvas, and eventually WebGL. And finally, we meager front-end developers have our own three-dimensional jewel: CSS 3D Transforms!
