Mozilla Labs Ubiquity An Experiment Into Connecting the Web with Language

Mozilla labs have been busy in developing feature gadgets and apps, recently we had discussed about Mozilla labs new initiative of designing future firefox concept.

Here comes another concept rather experiment from Mozilla Labs, Ubiquity. Ubiquity for firefox is a Mozilla Labs experiment into connecting the Web with language in an attempt to find new user interfaces that could make it possible for everyone to do common Web tasks more quickly and easily.

Goals of Ubiquity,

1) Empower users to control the web browser with language-based instructions. (With search, users type what they want to find. With Ubiquity, they type what they want to do.)

2) Enable on-demand, user-generated mashups with existing open Web APIs. (In other words, allowing everyone–not just Web developers–to remix the Web so it fits their needs, no matter what page they are on, or what they are doing.)

3) Use Trust networks and social constructs to balance security with ease of extensibility.

4) Extend the browser functionality easily.

Here is Sample Prototype of Ubiquity

This prototype aims at providing power of ubiquity one can get, user need to simply type what he want to do and all the action gets performed by Ubiquity
