Aximion is back!

After years of research and development we are ready to present you the prototype of Aximion 3.0. It’s not just a result of evolution of previous versions but a completely new paradigm of UI. Aximions prior to 3.0 were just a 3D environment that integrates native windows into it but Aximion 3.0 is much more than this - it does not integrate with OS, at least for now, but attempts to create independent environment with its own objects, rules and concepts without any restrictions imposed by OS and its legacy objects’ life-cycle. Think of this project as a system future UI concept independent from any OS and targeting 3D gears and big monitors.

Current build is available here
Windows Vista and above are supported.

Remember, that this is still just a prototype - not even alpha so it’s unstable.
If you face any issues launching Aximion it may mean that database is corrupted. In this case you can use Start Menu item “Restore profile to the default state” to reset the database.

The concept is far from final state so any aspect of Aximion 3.0 is subject to change and we are always open for your comments and suggestions. Feel free to contact us via this form
