- Panel: WWAI: How is the Web Growing? Into a Social Super-Organism or a Mass of Disconnected Information?
While the World Wide Web could become the nerve center for a social super-organism, it remains frustratingly rudimentary. Documents lack uniformity and integration; linking is unintelligent and unstable; interaction is limited, controlled by authors and browsers. However, things are changing. Advances in artificial intelligence could be applied to the WWW, transforming it to a globally distributed, massively parallel, wetware-oriented universe. Panelists from all areas of web development discuss this and other possibilities for the future of the web.

Bump Mapping Onto Real Objects
A method that applies a three-dimensional appearance onto real objects. The method forms anisotropy based on the normal vector, and it works just like bump mapping onto real surfaces.
