Score another one for advanced abstraction. An acquisition target for Google or Wolfram Beta???? -- Green Phosphor has begun showing off its first product, Glasshouse, a solution aimed at turning data and database queries into interactive 3D objects in a virtual world. The end result, Ben Lindquist, Founder and CEO, explains on CyberTech News, is a new and, ideally, more useful way of interacting with our data and programs by treating them as avatars. In the long run, that could mean things like interacting with a search engine through a librarian avatar, a la "Snowcrash." For now, it's an improvement on the static spreadsheet.
