Abstract— As personal computers have been recently improved in performance, a multi-tasking of running several applications at the same time has been generalized. Since only one task space is provided for performing such tasks in the Windows operating system, a number of computer users feel inconvenience. In this paper, we suggest a 3D Virtual Desktop System which can show a process of switching task spaces in 3D motion using DirectX. Our system aims to make up for the weak points in the Windows operating system, and to provide a computer user with more spaces for performing several tasks as well as the intuitive UI(User Interface), such as Compiz of Linux.
