E15 is an experimental architecture that places the power of presentation of web content into the hands of those that use it. Based on a dynamic, interactive OpenGL-based scripting engine, E15 exposes an entirely new face to web content, freely modifiable by each individual user.

    We've just started handing out E15 binaries to a select group of individuals to help us start hammering out the bugs. If you're interested in being a beta tester, email buza at mit dot edu with your system specs (OS X 10.5 required), and why you're interested in giving it a try.

    Intensely interesting research! I, for one, as a member of the general public web readership, appreciate the opportunity to 'follow along' with the participants afforded by the publishing of this site. I interpret this to be experimental examinations of current user-interface utility. What excites me and what I admire is the forward-looking edginess combined with a thrust to understand and innovate, reaching a new staging-area of potential future user-interface interaction. Perhaps coincidentally, the process seems to utilize the philosophical concept of deconstruction. I like it!

    So your future Web is a platform-dependent, graphic enhancement? Seems a little alienating, even gut-turningly cocky, to call this thing "THE future of the Web." Looks like yet another gussied up interface - one more layer between user and the information s/he seeks. It'd be just fine if you said "a future," but as it stands you're doing nothing really here besides adding more work to the end user's already full plate. And is that hardware required? If so, dream on. I just threw up in my mouth a little. Media Lab can no longer rest on its reputation as innovation center - not when it's fostering ideas like this.

    The Spacetime application doesn't appear to be innovative. It is looking at browsing the internet through with a dated mindset. It's important to use the past as a reference, but it's more important to re-imagine the future.

    Very cool demo, guys. I'm watching it right now! It would be neat to see different sites take some creative approaches to what you've done here. Imagine Flickr photos displayed as a 'tree' with broad, general tags as big branches. I can see this technology being used as a sort of start page or RSS aggregator, where my content is arranged exactly how and where I want it.
