JavaOne: Java 3D Open Source, Project Looking Glass Next

Just announced in the keynote: Java 3D is now open source, and the all-Java Project Looking Glass 3D desktop system will be open source as soon as it's ready to be put on java.net - great news.

JavaOne: Not just an iPod in that car...

Really cool demos are of course expected at a conference, but I loved the demo from BMW, given live from a BMW 6 series on stage. Future BMWs will have a Java-powered command and control centre in the vehicle (written by Siemens), offering navigation, entertainment and full vehicle feature control. Looked very cool indeed. I'll try to take a look at it on the show floor.
