Today, a New York-based company called SpaceTime launched a new browser, free to download and use, that presents Web pages and search results as floating slabs that can be flipped through, organized, and navigated in 3-D. The graphics concepts are similar to those found in "first-person shooter" video games, in which players navigate an immersive virtual environment. But instead of shooting monsters, SpaceTime users can "fly" through search results such as Web pages, pictures, and eBay auction items. When a user turns her view to the left, the right, up, or down, she can see all the Web pages she has previously called up and zoom in on the one she wants. "SpaceTime is interesting because it constantly redraws the scene that you see ... just like a video game where you can assume any position," says Edward Bakhash, CEO of the company.

Adobe is pushing Photoshop CS3 Extended into the 3D sphere by rolling out a new plug-in for Google's 3D Warehouse.
Photoshop users will be able to access Google's public 3D archive to download, convert, and edit user-created 3D models from within Photoshop.
The free plug-in could give users the ability to take content previously generated by other applications or users and fine-tune the models with Photoshop's image-editing tools.
The 3D models could then be saved to a local disk or resubmitted to the 3D Warehouse via Google's SketchUp application. Users can also submit 3D models of buildings for inclusion in Google Earth's 3D city-modelling projects.
