I also recall seeing Project Looking Glass[0] demo'd way back in the early 2000s. People were definitely having fun with/exploring the desktop metaphor in those years.

Steve Jobs even felt threatened enough by looking glass to call Jonathan Schwartz (Sun's CEO) and tried to intimidate him: https://jonathanischwartz.wordpress.com/2010/03/09/good-arti...

Thanks for this, I saw a demo of this years ago and I found the ability to write a note on the back of windows very fascinating, and for years I couldn't remember what it is.
