The company says it's unique "ergonomic retrieval" 3D layout makes desktop icons easier to spot, increasing productivity. This "Head Up Display" is said to be similar to the screens used in advanced fighter jets and provides a "clearly distinguishable angle-of-view and also depth location for every item."

The utility aims uses depth perception to reduce time users spend searching for a particular icon and wasted clicks. Spectasia requires an Intel Mac running Leopard, and is available now for about $20 USD.
