SpaceTime Workaround

——————————————————————————–

Thank you for your continued interest in SpaceTime.

A handful of people had difficult installing SpaceTime. As such, we have created a downloadable file which is available at the following link:

http://www.spac...;paceTime3D.zip

Please:

(1) click the link

(2) save the zipped folder to your computer

(3) estract it

(4) open the folder and double-click the Register File

(5) Than double click the applicaton called SpaceTime.exe

That’s all there is to it.

You will now be able to run SpaceTime without error and without worring about a firewall.

Increible web browser 3d. Es realmente buena esta aplicacion deberian de probarlarla…

I mused the other day if there would be a way to do this with social relationships over time throughout all the 387423874 social networks people use. In a way, weighted tag clouds do visually draw attention to the most common topics— I’d love to see the same kind of thing applied to ‘who or what is it that I’m really paying attention to?’ — and doing that over time. That almost requires a type of spatial illustration, to conceptually be able to pan around and see those ‘in the back of the room’ so to speak.

Sure, everything can be done in a flat hierarchial outline order to visualize, yet that might not address visual recognition the same way.

Might be a simple start in that direction… people are bringing up the same two or three things in that past and might not be looking at the longer future or its conceptual development over time.

And hey, how amusing that we might be flying through big pillars and skyscrapers of binary light! It’s the year 2000, where are the flying cars?! Heh.

{1st time firefox tried to handle it}
– Problem extracting ……

{ I right clicked save link as …} 7.9mb
– Opening / taking a while to install / SAYS PROBLEM EXTRACTING AGAIN

– Im runnig windows XP SP2 / 2 gig RAM /

The idea of doing something like this probably dates back at least a decade; time to dust off old SIGCHI proceedings to find a dozen clones.

This being said, hats off to SpaceTime for bringing something out of academia and into the real world. I’ve downloaded it and plan to use it — if it really works. I was surprised, however, that it was downloaded as a Firefox add-on (sort of). In other words, the executable didn’t download in a normal fashion, I wasn’t able to save it to my hard drive. Just be aware that this will happen. It will appear to load as a Firefox add-on (in Firefox, of course), like a XPI file (down)loads.

On yesterday’s Hmmcast I lamented that the new Ask3D isn’t truly 3D, it’s shameless marketing speak. This morning I learned about, downloaded and checked out SpaceTime which promises 3D search results from Google and Yahoo, image sea…
