I’m big on new ways of visualising data and navigating content, so I love the look of this new 3D RSS reader for Windows Vista.

According the Microsoft The Panel blog, the UniveRSS:

….provides a stunning way of visualizing RSS feeds and their content. It introduces a full-screen 3D universe where galaxies represent the folders of your RSS feed directory, and the stars are represented by the spinning cubes that hold the feed information. Size and position of the feed cubes indicate how many unread items they contain.

You navigate through the feed galaxies in a game-like environment, freely moving in all three dimensions. Selecting items in lists will turn the cube to the next side displaying the item’s content including images. Just click the right mouse buttons and you turn back to the list view or to the galaxy.

: : Needless to say I will be begging my friendly network administrator to consider me for a Vista upgrade a.s.a.p. so I can get my hands on this baby…. (You OK for coffee, Jim? Muffin with that? :-)))
