1 Vision - A tool to amplify human ability

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

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

2 Current status

Formulated high-level vision / goal.
In the process of implementing some of building blocks:
- Data storage engine.
- In software, pure Java realtime 3D rendering engine.
  - 3D engine demos
System is nowhere near complete (given magnitude of effort required and my free time available). Contributions welcome ! :)

3 Frequently Given Answers

Why such name ?
- 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.
