PicLens makes viewing photos on your computer screen a 3-D experience. You can do a Google search for a particular image, and a wall of images floats across your screen. You pull the stream of photos across the screen as if you were Tom Cruise in “Minority Report.” PicLens, a Web browser add-on, displays photos from Flickr, Facebook, MySpace and Yahoo Images, too. Best of all, PicLens is free at www.cooliris.com and works on PCs and Macs with Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari browsers. And it takes less than a minute to download and install.
