The present invention relates to computer windows, and more particularly to three-dimensional viewing windows.

Currently, display devices of computer systems can generally display a desktop to contain a plurality of object graphics, which respectively represent various applications. The user can click on the graphical interface to select the object graphic to execute the represented application and open the window. A typical Windows environment allows a user to execute multiple applications and generate multiple windows. However, when the user executes multiple applications, since the window is displayed in two dimensions, all the windows that execute the application are stacked in the same two-dimensional interface environment, that is, multiple windows are covered, and only one single time can be displayed. The execution of a window, and each application runs as a single link, not independently executed, and will interfere with each other. Therefore, when multiple windows are opened at the same time, in order to operate or browse different window contents, the user must frequently and frequently switch the window picture in the covered window, which is not conducive to remembering and recognizing the window; plus each window The applications in the system will interfere with each other, that is, the applications will "stuck" each other, and it is even more difficult to switch windows smoothly and smoothly, which is very inconvenient for the user to operate. Especially when the number of windows opened is large, the operating efficiency is greatly reduced.
