Thanks to a strong patent we can show off this exciting breakthrough. First read our Executive Summary and FAQ to learn about business opportunities for whole new styles of online communication -
from meetingware to improved IM & chat, to augmented reality.
Interest piqued? Take a guided tour of Holocene features, present and future. (And this is only the beginning.) See Parts I, II and III by going to "Downloads" or clicking below.
Experience Our Holocene Demo:
Unlike many bold concepts, Holocene exists in reality. Holocene alpha
already delivers many of the promises in a cool-fun prototype,
illustrating (at a basic level) the potential for much more to come.

Holocene Alpha (2D) now includes: orientation control;
movement; teleportation; text scrolling; automatic window-sizing by
distance, orientation and reputation; bird's eye view, transcripting;
simple font ageing; user-assigned reputation; window-sizing by time
since last message; first stage kiosks.

text compression; "gisting" and text restoration; selective transcript;
key-word alerts; optional user text display; global reputation systems;
simple game walls barriers; file exchange.
