UpNext and other map-based systems offer one significant advantage over text-based interfaces: geospatial search. When people are looking for something to do, they usually know the general area where they want to go before-hand, but don't k

We only use the trust for browser-based 3D acceleration (a concept most people would attribute to the 21st century). The applets of 2007 are going to be far different than what you saw in 1999. Java may seem like an old beast but Sun has so

I misspoke above: we're rendering up to 100K+ polygons per frame, not per second (and hopefully > 30 FPS on most computers)

Flash doesn't have support for 3D hardware acceleration. We're rendering up to 100,000 polygons per second; the maximum flash can handle is around 5 to 10 thousand. Java on the other hand supports all of this, has a great threading model, a

Sorry about your experience. Unfortunately our resources are limited and we haven't been able to access all videocard combinations on which to test (but we're trying every chance we get!). We'd like to able to sort out remaining hardware co

Granting the applet trust on your system allows us to access your video card, enabling hardware accelerated 3D graphics. Essentially to use 3D acceleration you have to trust the applet to the extent that you trust any desktop application y

Linux support is coming very soon, we're just having a hard time finding enough computers to test on. Thanks for trying it out, Raj Advani Lead Engineer, UpNext
