Your private 3D image wall

When you have dozens of images to browse online, Cooliris offers a compelling alternative to the standard and somewhat tedious "Previous-Next" button: a plug-in for Firefox, Safari, and Flock, it provides images and video content in a full-screen, horizontally expanded, interactive 3-D “wall” view.
Once you install the plug-in (which takes seconds), simply visit any supported Web site and either click the Cooliris button in the toolbar or mouse over a thumbnail and click the icon. Cooliris then takes over your screen, displaying all the page’s image or video content, plus all related content from subsequent pages, on the 3D wall. Searching through hundreds of Google images, YouTube videos, and Facebook photos has never been easier.
As a bonus, it works with the images on your your hard drive too, including those in iPhoto.
Seeing is believing. It even provides a Search function with which to search out content across Google, YouTube, Amazon.com, Hulu, Flickr, and more. A Discover menu will give you ideas.
An all this for free. Not bad.
