Eagle Mode is an advanced solution for a futuristic style of man-machine communication in which the user can visit almost everything simply by zooming in.

It has a professional file manager, file viewers, and players for most of the common file types, a chess game, a 3D mine game, a multi-function clock and some fractal fun, all integrated into a virtual cosmos. Besides, that cosmos also provides a Linux kernel configuration in the form of a kernel patch.

By featuring a separate popup-zoomed control view, help texts in the things they are describing, editable bookmarks, multiple input methods, fast anti-aliased graphics, a virtually unlimited depth of panel tree, and by its portable C++ API, Eagle Mode aims to be a cutting edge of zoomable user interfaces.

It is a zoomable user interface with many plugin applications, for example:

3d Zoomable file manager.
Games (Chess/3D Mine Sweeper)
Audio/Video player
Fractal generation.
C++ API

The API can be used to create both, plugin applications and standalone applications. A plugin application could show in the virtual cosmos and in the file manager while a standalone application shows as an own window on the desktop.

The Windows port of Eagle Mode is just a light version. It has fewer plugins, fewer commands, and the commands can handle fewer files at once than the Linux versions.
