3D interfaces already exist (look at Sun's project looking
glass<https://lg3d.dev.java.net/>).
The main problem with these sort of interfaces is that no commonly used
input devices provides 3d movement, making the manipulation of objects in a
3d environment much more difficult than in a 2d environment. In addition,
one must be careful that such radical changes are done for productivity
reasons, rather than for sheer coolness; 3d interfaces do not appear to
allow for much for intuitive access to a computer.
