Project Details
- "In this speech-based image browser, an interactive window displays a collection of constantly updated images derived from the Internet. As users speak into voice-input devices, [recognized] keywords generate downloads of corresponding images. Users can interact with the images on the window's surface."
- Images stream on the screen from the respective view of the user. Images can be interactively examined for their URLs to find out more of exactly what they refer to.
- "Riding the Net provides an entertaining and playful way to browse the Internet... [u]sers can control the content of what they are watching through their own decisions, dialogue, and interaction."
