Introducing Atmosphere: A Giant Leap Forward into a New Cyberspace
|
| Atmosphere is very exciting to me, and to all of us who are working hard to build our lives and enterprises around this thing called Cyberspace. Why? Well, Atmosphere represents a leap beyond the 2D document Web into rich three dimensional spaces. But most importantly Atmosphere comes with the people built in, using a "multi-user server" and "avatars" (your visual representation in Cyberspace) so that you can see and communicate with your friends, your customers, your students, and your coworkers in real time inside any Atmosphere space. More about this and other technical and creative wonders of Atmosphere later. But what really takes the cake here is who is bringing you Atmosphere: Adobe Systems Inc. > Next |
