Browsing in the 3rd dimension
Thursday, July 19, 2007
The Web, and subsequent ways to browse it, has become host to new and emergent technologies to improve the user experience. One of the latest, released to public in a free Beta download last month, is a 3-D browsing tool called Space Time.
Space Time allows for 3-D tabbed browsing, as well as 3-D eBay, Yahoo and Google searches. You can also search just for images on Flickr or YouTube for videos, allowing images to breeze by you one-by-one across the screen.
PC World recently reviewed the program, and noted that compared to other 3-D browsing tools, Space Time holds up nicely. The search function is particularly useful, allowing you to see whole Web pages instead of just the small snippets of text that Google or other search engines display. However, the reviewer also notes that functionality still has a ways to go - the browsing capability doesn't allow you to type a URL and directly navigate to one page, and the program also requires a pretty powerful system to function properly.
