I'd say UI3 was a short-lived diversion that got nowhere near being a Croquet like thing. We did have Self objects that could appear as boxes on the screen. You could also press a "go meta" button in which case you retreat slowly "out of body" and you'd see the frame you were looking through, plus a small box at your former eye point.

You could then move the eye point around (push it closer to the frame, for example) then go un-meta to resume the view, (which would in the example be a much more wide angle view through the frame). You could go meta an unbounded number of times, leaving a chain of eyepoints and frames laying there in front of you.

But as I recall, that was about as far as we got...

Hi,

I'm trying to find out something on SELF's UI3 implementation but there's no results. Could you point me on papers or something 'bout it?

Thanks in advance

PS Was it like a Croquet nowadays?
