Try PicLens (full-screen, 3D experience for viewing photos and videos across the web) and you will never search images again as before 5*/5

WE's time and I was reading the Economist. Yes, the paper edition ;)
An I just wanted to check a tip from them: " New techniques to navigate and gather information online promise to revolution web browsing".

And it is true ! I tried this PicLens from Cooliris: it can be installed as an add-on on Firefox (mine is FF2) and it is possible to use it also with :
Firefox (Windows)
Firefox (Mac)
Internet Explorer
Safari (Mac)

"PicLens transforms your browser into a PicLens transforms your browser into a full-screen, 3D experience for viewing photos and videos across the web.

It is fast, smooth, elegant and effective. With you mouse, you move the wall of images as they appear from right to left or the left to right. You want to see one you click on it. Zoom in it ? click again.

Up there you can see the capture for a Google Image Search for : Galaxy Milky Way
and down here is the same search in "normal" Browser view...

NO WAY , I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO NORMAL SEARCH !
Forget clicking page after page in search of the right image!They are all displayed in an endless wall... For me is Science-fiction coming true !



A search is integrated in PicLens but just a simple one (no image size)

Check here the Demo, is really working like that and I have an "2 years old" laptop :)
