Exit Reality : The first ever 3D web browser !

Hello Humanoids . Sorry for such a delay , its pretty hard to blog even a single post in week these days , sigh . Lets get back to the topic ,

What does this browser do basically ? 



ExitReality founder Danny Stefanic said users of the software, which ran in tandem with popular browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox, would be "blown away" by the rendering of traditional two-dimensional web pages as full interactive 3D environments.

"It is the entire web in 3D -- making 40 billion virtual worlds -- and it will instantly transform 2D content into 3D," Mr Stefanic said.
The software then allows people to search for sites using the built-in search engine, which then instantly renders pages in 3D.  Individual web users are then shown as avatars (virtual people) in the same way as people are featured in virtual games.

What does this do to a normal 2D website ? 

Websites such as YouTube are transformed into movie theatres while social networking pages like MySpace are turned into virtual lounge rooms.
The software also enables people to see other web page visitors as avatars and interact with them, moving the Second Life model from the walled garden of the game to the entire web.

So how do you install this  ?

Just click on the download button below :

Photobucket

Complete the installation and see your Firefox browser , there shall be a new addon which will help you to go 3D .

While on Internet Explorer ( it works even will IE 8 eta 2 ) its prretty easy , you shall notice  an icon which says  Visit in 3D on the command bar .


So how do they get the money ?
Simple . ExitReality's revenue will be driven largely by its own search engine, as advertisers are more likely to want to be featured on 3D sites.

Did you test this on a website   ? 

Yes i did , and tragically it was disastrous . I tested :  news.yahoo.com on Internet Explorer 8 beta 2 .  I was pretty excited about the fact that my browser would be now 3D , but the moment it did make a 3D environment it shocked me . I have never ever seen such poor graphical environment in my life and  it is so heavy on the system it seems as if i am running a big programme on my P.C .   It was so bad , most of the links were hidden behind by some stupid  graphics , the only cool thing is the news is continuously coming on a separate  television screen and guess what ,  The text on the screen isn't visible !

Here are some of the screenshots of my journey from excitement to dissapointment 

 
  
 





What about its features  ?

  • The most tidy feature :  instantly switch from 3D to 2D and back to 3D in matter of minutes... .
  • You can change the 3D websites from the toolbar itself 
  • You can Search , Chat , Edit , ask for help in the same toolbar
  • There is an option to Walk in all the 4 directions , Hide/Show avatar , use torch , use gestures , etc .
  • For for information , you can add buddies if you have singed up at exit reality

So what's the verdict ? 

The idea behind this web browser is 13 years old and what we did expect was something way better than this . The idea is really cool but where it lacks is the application itself.  The browser is becomes dead slow and you can't do anything except watch websites in 3D . By the way , who doesn't want his/her website in 3D ,so website or blog owners ,  submit your website/blog to this link .

What i recommend is that you give it a try once ,  opinions vary as you know hence giving it a try wont spoil anything . So now , enjoy the world of 3D on your web browser  !

Take Care ,



How to Run Faster Fox in Firefox 3 and above version !

Hello Humanoids . When Firefox got updated to Firefox 3 and then later Firefox 3.0.1 i used to take care if all my addons were updated , but the only addon which never got updated was Faster Fox , one of he most popular and widely used addon with Firefox 1.5 - Firefox 2.0 , but sadly the developer never gave us an update , thus people had to remove it since they cant afford to wait for an addon and not update their web browser !



I was desperately looking for a way to find out how to Run Faster Fox in Firefox 3.0.1 (which is the current version , if you haven't updated then please do so),.
but wasn't successful . So i decided to find out a way myself and to my delight it was successful !



Here is how you can do it in few steps , just keep following closely :

Go to the Faster Fox Website   and you will see something like the image below :


  • Instead of Clicking on it , right click and click on Save Link  As and it shall be included in your Firefox Download Window

  • Now Right click after it finishes installing and select   Open Containing Folder Option .

  • This will lead you to the file , now you need a software for Unzipping such as  Winzip , 7zip or Winrar . In this case we shall use Winrar  .

  • Right Click on the File  which will be named as  faster-fox-2.0.0-fx.xpi  and select  " Add to faster-fox-2.0.0-fx.xpi.rar "  option .

  • Now  go to the .rar folder named as  " Add to faster-fox-2.0.0-fx.xpi.rar "  and right click on the folder and then select the option Open .

  • This will Lead you to the Winrar Interface . You will see the faster-fox-2.0.0-fx.xpi  file on the Winrar page and all you have to do this right click on it and  select View option .


  • Now you shall notice few files  like the image below :


  • Double Click  on the  file  named as  " install.rdf "  and if you get it on a Notepad File try redirecting it to the WordPad since you won't be able to edit it in a Notepad File .

  • Now go to the bottom of the file in Wordpad and you shall the following code at the bottom  :



See the Arrow   :  Replace   <"em:maxVersion>2.0.0.*<"/em:maxVersion>


to
<"em:maxVersion>3.0.4.*<"/em:maxVersion>


Note  - If you are Using Firefox 3.0.0  , then replace the code by :  <"em:maxVersion>3.0.0.*<"/em:maxVersion>



Update -  The code has been updated , and the readers can change the 2.0.0 to whatever version will be upcoming up , for example for Firefox Version 3.0.5 :  change the 2.0.0 to 3.0.5 , simple !


Note -  Remove the inverted commas please from the inside of the tag.



  • Just save the file and   a window shall appear  :



  • Just click on Yes   and then Press the Backspace from your Keyboard and you shall be back to the place where you started !


  • Now drag  Firefox-2.0.0-fx file from Winrar Interface itself  by pressing left Mouse button to your Firefox window  and click on install . 


Faster Fox is now compatible and Running on your Firefox !

I wrote this tutorial in a very easy to understand manner hence everybody can grasp it effectively !

I hope this helps you !  If you still have any problem ? Just insert it in the comment box !

Take care,
