we all want to know how computing will look like in future. i thought it would be interesting to post some videos about how researchers and organizations see the future of computing. enjoy video 4 of 4, Mozilla Labs Aurora about “The Future of The Web”.
Mozilla Labs developed a video about the future way of browsing the internet. “Aurora is a concept video presenting one possible future user experience for the Web, created by Adaptive Path as part of the Mozilla Labs concept browser series. Aurora explores new ways people could interact with the Web in the future based on projected technological trends and real-world scenarios.” the video is split in four parts.
a lot of the aurora-ideas are very likely to become true, since they are, to some extend, available today (shopping recommendation based on personal profiles, personal stream about actions etc). sometimes the scenarios are a bit over the top, such as sending someone else’s personal data to shopping pages in order to get a birthday-present recommendation (part four). but i do not preclude that this might be possible some day.
i like the idea of pushing and pulling elements onto each other to automatically create new perspectives and views. and by live-sharing this information with colleagues and friends a totally new way of collaboration is realized. nice ideas for a future way of work.
multi touch displays will soon be a part of our every day life. the technique is already very well developed and ready to be used on a broad market.
microsoft has a vision. finally.
