ViOS Client
The way you see and interact with the Internet is about to change for the first time since Netscape commercialized the Web browser in 1994. ViOS delivers the entire Internet — content, community and commerce — through a richly textured, engaging 3D experience. Using our free software (available on CD or by download), you can: Explore the whole Internet — any Web site, FTP site, or other location. Easily find information in a 3D environment. Discover a wealth of relevant Web content you never knew existed. Chat with existing friends and meet new people in a 3D environment. Express yourself with fun, customizable avatars. Trade and share files with friends. Travel alone, with a friend, or in groups across the entire Internet landscape. Lease space on the Internet landscape and build your own 3D presence in a high-energy new world. With ViOS, the Internet is no longer a disjointed mass of Web pages, connected by hyperlinks and mind-numbing waiting. ViOS is a discovery-rich experience of movement through space. You can explore it. Travel through it. Lease a piece of it. Our Review: A massive download, a massive install, and for what? Some new gimmicky way to be bombarded by all the websites we seek to AVOID on the internet. Once you've installed the client software, and read and re-read the FAQ to see why the client isn't loading - you are presented with a landscape filled with all those familar Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, dull, sugar-coated websites to explore. You can fly or walk but there really isn't any great functional ability to ViOS. Admittedly, the graphics are well-rendered, and kids will think its great - but as for it being the future? It isn't a future I want. If you've got time to meander through the internet aimlessly then ViOS is for you - else I would recommend getting to grips with using a search engine effectively.
