New World. Next generation of user interface
Concept: to create an interface that lets users develop multidimensional and associative information perception.
Concept: to create an interface that lets users develop multidimensional and associative information perception.
In regard to human beings, whose relationship with the Earth is based on the principle of information multidimensionality rather than on the linearity principle, most existing interfaces seem artificial and unnatural. Such multidimensionality implies that not only space and time are important but also associations that arise from what is going on at the moment. Sometimes a recipient has difficulties with understanding where these associations come from, at times they may be explained by déjà vu or by something that has already taken place. In fact, here comes the border between the mind and electronic devices, the border that we are all supposed to extend, however, let's admit that we are just lazy to do that.
Cosmic structure and physics of interrelations between bodies and their formations may
be assumed as the basis of the interface. For instance, while a planet with its satellite can
depict a mother with a child, the planetary system may stand for a whole family whose head
provides warmth and nourishment.

A constellation is a group of people united by common territory and identity of views.
A galaxy represents a city or a country, whereas the Universe includes entire humanity
with all its thoughts and ideas, both past and future.

The combination of all these forms permanently creates something absolutely new that has never occurred before and would probably not emerge unless there was a pure accident or luck.
Such 3D systems can be used not only to organize simple data but to create whole galaxies
of social networks that may be enlarged and enriched comprehensively in real time.

Thus, the existing interest groups create a sort of planetary systems or constellations which,
in their turn, form a part of a larger group. It certainly looks like what we have today. Nevertheless,
websites are linear and don't let users move through the whole «cluster» freely and to find new
interesting information that is useful for personal development.

In such a system every single piece of information out of a great amount may either be
developed or supplemented by other participants. Associative photos, videos, views, comments
or links can be added to any materials.

It all should take place in real time and be interactive so that it was possible to see
other people interested in the same information and to contact them (if they want that, too).
At the moment Wikipedia develops in accordance with the same principle,
but it is too closed to become an universal platform.

It's not the man who created the nature, everything was given
to us by the nature itself. Moreover, everything was invented before us,
and we do nothing but trying to copy someone's else ideas,
even though we lack quick wits. Of course, technological
progress and social passivity don't let people advance,
but we can start thinking and moving
in the right direction and stop waiting
while somebody else suggests this to us.
Since there is demand,
there will be supply.

I express my endless gratitude to Oleg Stavitsky for his help
in creating and promoting the project.
