Visualize This: Collaboration, Communication and Commerce in the 21st Century Book

Today's Internet is about to be transformed into a sensory-rich, virtual universe that will offer extraordinary opportunities for competitive advantage. Few strategists and planners realize how powerful the changes will be -- or how rapidly they're coming. In Visualize This, leading technology analyst Joe Clabby brings together every element of the next Internet revolution, offering the first clear view of tomorrow's "Sensory Virtual Internet": its technologies, applications, markets, and enormous new investment opportunities. Visualize This shows how today's virtual worlds are being transformed for effective collaboration and commerce, and presents a technology roadmap that explains how every key technical obstacle is now being overcome. Joe Clabby introduces next-generation human interfaces based on speech recognition, artificial intelligence, new approaches to navigation and manipulation -- even touch, scent, and taste. He identifies near-term breakthroughs in networks, platforms, servers, storage, and architecture, and offers practical advice for IT decision-makers on preparing for them. Clabby reveals how Web services will catalyze the rapid development of sensory-rich, collaborative applications; and how a broad range of revolutionary "social-collaborative" applications are likely to evolve.Read More
