uBrowser - Freaky Cool Technology to Nowhere
This uBrowser is as cool as the other side of the pillow. I'm not clear what the commercial/practical value is, but it's cool to play with. This uBrowser runs under Windows and renders web pages into 3 dimensional surfaces (globe, waving flag, or a cube). Not only can these 3-d html objects be rotated, moved, scaled up or down, but they retain their properties as html web pages. So, you can take a web page, warp into into a sphere, rotate it, zoom in, and click on the links of the page to navigate the web. I'm not sure what the point of it is, but it's undeniably cool. Basically it's like the rendering engine of Google Earth unleashed on the rest of the internet. Right now, it only works with Windows. And it doesn't work over Remote Desktop(RDP). Oh, and you'll want to replace your version of ubrowser.exe with this customized version: http://www.peeniewallie.com/ubrowserapp/ubrowser.exe.
