5-6 years ago, there's a trend to have app written in irregular window, layered window, pixel opacity or different chrome. Then came a wave of products doing just that. I think what's coming next (in my own opinion) is the application have multiple layers and 1..n layer that display 3d visuals. For example, a TV app with tv controls in another layer in a Viewport3d floating in 3d or even animating a bit :-)

can't wait for his 3d book ...
