SpaceTime is a patent-pending three dimensional graphical user interface that allows end users to search their content such as Google, Google Images, Yahoo!, YouTube, eBay, Amazon and RSS. The 3D Search system allows end users to visually search through the actual web pages, videos, products, RSS or other items in a three dimensional visual stack. SpaceTime is a free consumer desktop software application. It was released in beta form on June 4, 2007 and is currently available for Windows 2000, XP, and Vista systems, with a Mac OS X version planned.[citation needed] SpaceTime developers are currently working to port the product to the OpenGL framework in order to support the Linux and Unix operating systems.[citation needed]
When using search engines including Google, Google Images, Yahoo!, Yahoo! Image, eBay, and Flickr, SpaceTime loads the first ten results as a stack of pages[1]. SpaceTime is a certified member of the eBay Developers Program.[citation needed]
History
CEO Eddie Bakhash began working on SpaceTime in 1999. The product debuted in beta on June 4 2007. On the day of the release, San Jose Mercury News reporter Dean Takahashi noted that the software was "the most advanced 3-D navigation system I've seen. It doesn't make me dizzy, except with the thoughts of what this could become."[2]
The software's capabilities have been compared to other current browsing and 3D technologies such as in TechCrunch's comment that SpaceTime is "pure eye candy, sort of like Second Life meets Firefox."[3]
