+1 Vision - A tool to amplify human ability
-
+-There is nothing useful for regular people yet. +
+Makes lots of complex data intuitive to:
+ - explore, understand
+ - manipulate and compute on
+
+by extensively relying on:
+ - realtime 3D graphics with immediate feedback loop
+ - flexible and distributed computation and data storage
+-Sixth is presently in research / prototyping and ideas collecting phase. Some -working parts are already implemented: +âVirtual reality holds the key to the evolution of the human mindâ +Dr. Lawrence Angelo, The Lawnmower Man (1992)

- Sub projects: +
- Formulated high-level vision / goal. + + +
- In the process of implementing some of building blocks: +
- 3D engine demos +

-2 Vision
-
-System is nowhere near complete (given magnitude of effort required
+and my free time available). Contributions welcome ! :)

- 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. +

3 Features to implement in the future
+
+
+3 Frequently Given Answers
-
-
- Semantic networks / knowledge trees. +
- Why such name ?
-
-
- Is able to use natural language for knowledge mining and question answering. -This could potentially lead to self aware artificial intelligence. Because -of "Three laws safe" design, there is nothing that can go wrong. -
-
- - Become an alternative to KDE, Gnome, Canonical Unity or similar desktop user -interfaces. - -
- Become an open source scientific computing engine of structured data as an -alternative to proprietary Wolfram Alpha. - -
- Become an open source solution for unstructured knowledge extraction and -processing, similar to IBM Watson. - -
- P2P (Peer to peer) distributed computation system. +
- In short: it's just a number. + +
- Many years ago inspired by the ideas of Forth (programming +language) I decided to create my own implementation Fifth +(computing/programming environment). + +
- Then I realized I miss type safe object oriented capabilities. So +I updated the name to Sixth and switched to Java. + +
