Aurora: Browsing the future

Aurora is a web browser concept being developed by Adaptive Path in partnership with Mozilla Labs as a part of the Concept Series Project, which is a project that encourages developers and designers to express and work on their visions of the future of browsing the web.

Yesterday, the team from Adaptive Path released their very first video of this technology in action. In the video, the demonstrate two people interacting remotely together in the same browser. It also showed full screen browsing, having the “toolbar” as a frame, which in my opinion looked pretty cool and the nicest thing of all was the “Spatial” view, where you could see your browsing history in a 3D environment, showing up front your most recent sites visited, leaving the older visits far behind.

Here’s the video they released yesterday. I truly recommend watching it with HD on and full screen at 1280x768 to really appreciate what they are trying to show.
