Copyright date is 1999.
I'd love to see this updated. Maybe even take advantage of VR.
Edit:
Somewhat related to that, one of my favorite books as a kid was Tom Clancy's Net Force. And in it there was a novel VR-based way people navigated the internet. Also, Full Disclosure by Michael Chritchton (spelling?) has a VR based interface.
- colemannugent 9y agoOn the topic of VR interfaces, I would love a VR newspaper. Something where I can read all my favorite content aggregators and not have to worry about keeping all the sections together or setting my morning drink down and leaving a ring of moisture on the article I was going to read next.
- Tossrock 9y agoWhat VR platform would you want this on? For the desktop powered versions, you can use VirtualDesktop to run a browser in VR which can visit eg nytimes.com or whatever.
- colemannugent 9y agoI was imagining a virtual newspaper that you could fold and manipulate as if it were paper. Now that I think about it, this would be better suited for AR.
- throwaway2016a 9y agoCorrection... too late to edit. The Chritchton book is just "Disclosure" not "Full Disclosure" incase anyone is curious. Here's the scene from the movie adaptation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFkyV7d5t8o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFkyV7d5t8o
