Some days back Mozilla Labs came up with an absolutely novel concept of a next-gen browser called Aurora. This browser allows the user to create and arrange web content as if internet were a group of data scraps scattered randomly in 3-D space which the user can arrange and combine as per her whims.
Once implemented, this would mean a complete technology shift in the field of web application development. This set me thinking. Once such a concept is materialized as a web browser, other desktop applications won’t take a lot of time to pick it up and apply it to the desktop world, and before we can say ‘cat in a hat’, we will have a true 3D operating system.
But its not all about the looks. With these kind of ideas, the whole user experience will hit a new dimension and it will become far more easier for the generations to come to accept computers as an integral part of their living (quite like electricity has become for us).
As a game developer, I also see the desktop and console gaming becoming one and evolving as virtual reality gaming. Quite a few of this is already in place, courtesy companies like Nintendo. But to bring it to every household in the cyberspace, we will need applications like Aurora to change the face of virtual reality from a gaming concept to a daily use technology.
Way to go Mozilla…
Keep up the good work…
