Surf Online Images in 3D with PicLens ( Flickr and Facebook included )[ Online Tools ]

If you are getting bored of looking the images the traditional way i.e scrolling up and down left and right, Its time to go 3D. PicLens is an online utility which allows you to surf all the images on sites like Google Images, Flickr , Picasa Facebook and more, in a 3d Gallery.

What’s the advantage ?

You need not to Look where images are , It picks up all images and display in 3d Gallery
No scrolls, Just move left and its Sweeps sweetly to left and show you Images. Click on one you like and it zooms it for you .
It can increase your productivity by reducing the time you spend on finding images. Just do a quick surf and you are done.

Update: I found some more features when I was showing this to my friend Durai ( my Roommate )

It can work as slide show.
In case of Google Search in shows all the image which comes in hundreds of result in Google.
You can enable this for your site too. They have plugin for wordpress bloggers too. read more here

Drawback As I see:

I can’t Save images directly. Thus even though its shows hundreds of result in one shot I cant find where it is.

Its an awesome service you just don’t want to miss. They have it for all browsers Firefox (Windows), Firefox (Mac), Internet Explorer and Safari. . Check out he images below for Google Images, Flickr and Facebook.

Hey there, again, from the PicLens Team:

We just thought you might be interested in knowing that we have a PicLens plugin for WordPress blogs, which enables your site for full-screen slideshows. The plugin can be found at WordPress.org or on our website at http://piclens.com/lite/wordpress.php.

For your readers who don’t have WordPress, we just teamed up with free website provider Freewebs (www.freewebs.com) to make the PicLens experience available to all Freewebs users and visitors. PicLens is also compatible with Adobe Lightroom.

Thanks, again, for blogging about us. We’ve got much more to come, so stay tuned.

Kindest regards,
Alec & The PicLens Team

Well, I’ve found one work around. If you use a screen capture program called Snagit 8.0, it will let you “grab” the image. It’s not free, but I think they have a free trail going on now. The nice thing about it is photos on flicker that you usually can’t get, not only are now available, but usually larger than the image you can view.

If you like Piclens, and if you’re also a movie buff, here’s a freeware that uses Piclens 3D wall to display your DVD collection, your favorite movies & series, your favorite actors, etc…

It also uses the latest PicLens feature to find videos on YouTube (trailers, interviews, making of, alternate scenes, spoofs, etc…)
