Only the last link is really depend on VR.

http://www.3deaspacesys.com/ - this is a closer 3d UI with VR though, which is interesting. 

But aside from zorin and the link about what a 3dOS is, no, simply because motion tracking and holograms/3d projection isn't strong enough or popular enough. A 3d UI is pointless if you can interact with it in 3 dimensions.

What is a 3dOS

 

Maybe,kinda, at least for users

I like zorin, but honestly I'm happier with ubuntu and windows. I'm sure this isnt what you mean by far, but its a nice look thats still practical. 

 

Ofcourse VR is involved . 

 

1) You mean user-interface (UI) which is what we see and do, its not necessarily fixed to the OS. Looks at the UIs for ubuntu alone(server, xfce,mate,gnome). Now given that for this the OS would need a decent tweak to support 3d functions, but its still just a GUI not an OS. 

2) until we get stronger VR or a tony-stark style interface which is well beyond current motion tracking and holograms, then any 3d UI will simply be a novelty. 

3)Why? I mean it looks cool, but aside from games and modeling, a 3d ui would just be a large desktop since we only really see a 2d projection of what we look at.

Had a look at Zorin and it's not really 3D in the aspect I'm looking for, it seems more of a window manager than a truly 3D OS.

Yes! Brilliant! Thank you! 

 

 

This is what I was kind of aiming for. Different, but close.

Yes you have... but it's not out yet (sometime in 2017 it is expected to be released)

Windows 10 Holographics

It if for VR headsets (Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and so on) and is what currently runs on the HoloLens right now.

 

 

We don't know much about it for now. But it is, as requested, a OS for VR.

It will probably run UWP and not support Win32 programs due to the OS not being a full version of Windows, as it was designed to be light to run on small, weak hardware, like the HoloLens where all it's hardware is in the helmet. It does support Intel and AMD CPUs if you wonder, so you can build a computer and run the OS. Of course, this is supposition, it might be able to run Win32 programs after all, it is too early to say.

Ahhh.... Yes, 2D and 3D apps at once is also what I was looking for. Thank you. 

 

Hopefully they can make it able to run on systems that are not strictly for VR. I have some easy ideas that this can be seen useful in the desktop workstation type of field.
