Apple Experimenting With 3D GUIs For iOS Devices
A newly published patent application describes Apple's experiments with 3D GUIs, utilizing the wide array of sensors available on iOS devices.
The patent, titled "Sensor Based Display Environment," begins by describing the problems associated with navigating 3D GUIs using fingers or styluses due to limited screen size.

The jb app Barrel does this with the background now. Once again apple won't let you do it untill it's tested by the jailbreakers. Anyone remember no volume shutter until os5?

Uh, Barrel does what now? Barrel has absolutely nothing to do with the subjects outlined in this article. All Barrel does is change the way icons on the homescreen react to paging. That's it. Nothing more. At all. That has nothing at all to do with conceptual drawings for a 3D UI that uses gyroscopes and other sensors to manipulate content or give a feel of user immersion. Please, read the article next time.
