Browse & organize

Tactile 3D is a user interface made to browse & organize all your existing files on your hard drive in 3D using shapes and sounds to identify folders and files. Get a free trial at www.tactile3d.com. Wouldn’t it be great if you could search your data while ‘walking’ INSIDE your hard drive? Remember those hacker movies where the protagonist virtually enters a computer program to physically look for the virus. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of this is the character Tom Sanders (Michael Douglas) ‘walking’ on Digicom’s VR Database in Michael Crichton’s movie Disclosure. A Force More Powerful (www.afmpgame.org) is the first and only 3D game to teach the waging of conflict using nonviolent methods. Destined for use by activists and leaders of non-violent resistance and opposition movements, the game will also educate the media and general public on the potential of nonviolent action and serve as a simulation tool for academic studies of nonviolent resistance. Think of a world without actual wars, we can just fight them virtually and spare millions of lives.

VRMAG (http://vrm.vrway.com) is an online magazine with an incredible 3D interface. It actually allows you to read the magazine as an object in space. This means that with some more advanced programming, you would not need to go to America to be inside the American Library of Congress. If all books are digitized and added to an interface like this, the library is available at the touch of a button. Several organizations including Google and Project Gutenberg are already digitizing books.

NASA World Wind (http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov) is an intergalactic Google Earth with the moon, Mars, Venus & Jupiter as well. After we have sufficient imagery data in the future, we could travel to these distant planets sitting in our living rooms. And speaking of Google Earth, the net is ripe with rumours about a new Google product called My World that adds human movement and interaction to the already realistic world of Google Earth. Using its graphics development application SketchUp (http://sketchup.google.com) Google may be on its way to creating a 3D universe of its own. Although there is still no official statement, the obvious possibility is a competitor to Second Life. Some folks are even talking about Google buying out Second Life, but then if Google had its way, it would buy out every innovative piece of software on the planet, and in the virtual world of course.
