We reckon that it is technologically possible to use video shots and pictures for direct representation of concepts as an alternative to text. Hine spent about a year collecting over one thousand pictures of himself and his family in search of a useful vocabulary. In the future we could send an agent on the net and exploit the resources there are. The data are stored in a server on a network. Navigating the pictures then becomes the problem.
Every idea is linked to others in chains.
The server builds a record of these relationships and the constant traffic updates the set. The next Umptidumpti demo is at Telecom Geneva, Switzerland, in October.
