After a minute of searching, I found this on Reddit:

This 3D desktop project is now defunct and it never caught
on.

I can see why.  3D GUIs are a stupid idea.  They are not an
answer looking for a question, but more like a hallucination
looking for a schizophrenic.

Accept the reality.  The ultimate GUI, that of 2D windows,
keyboard, and mouse, is already with us.  It will never get
any better despite many vain attempts to make it better.

It's just like a car.  With the steering wheel, brake and
accelerator pedals, and shift lever, we have attained the
ultimate driver UI.  It can never get any better despite
idiotic attempts to do so.
