2 Vision - A tool to amplify human ability

+

-There is nothing useful for regular people yet. +Idea is to design all encompassing, flexible and powerful virtual +environment where I can live in and very efficiently do all my +computing tasks enjoyably and with playful ease.

-Sixth is presently in research / prototyping and ideas collecting phase. Some -working parts are already implemented: +See extensible, programmable computing environment examples. In each +case you can install or develop plugins/extensions for every purpose +imaginable.

2 Vision

-
+
  • Extensively relying on:
      -
    • A tool to amplify human ability.
    • - -
    • Properly visualizes and immerses user in completely various forms of -information and provides intuitive and powerful ways to explore, interact and -manipulate it with fast feedback loop to immediately see results.
    • +
    • Realtime 3D graphics with immediate feedback loop. +

    “Virtual reality holds the key to the evolution of the human mind” Dr. Lawrence Angelo, The Lawnmower Man (1992)

    +
  • + +
  • Flexible and distributed computation and data storage. +
  • + +
  • Cross device: +
      +
    • Easily switch and/or combine computers to work seamlessly on any +tasks. +
    • + +
    • User interface, data, software, running proceses and available +computing power is not contained or limited by boundaries of any +single device. +

    +

    2.1 Extensible, programmable computing environment examples

    +
    +
    +
    GNU Emacs
    At the heart, Emacs is text editor on top of Lisp +runtime. Data storage and computation can be done in +Lisp. Emacs provides text buffers that can be used to +build GUI. +
    + +
    Eclipse IDE
    In essence OSGi platform with a text +editor. Computation done in java. Eclipse provides +integration, runtime and GUI platform. +
    + +
    IBM Notes/Domino
    Custom database engine, software development +platform, GUI editor, computation can be done in Java and +LotusScript. +
    + +
    SAP ABAP
    Custom database engine, runtime, GUI platform, +development environment and programming language. +
