SearchCube was originally a personnal project created by one member of Sandy’s forum to get more familiar with Sandy engine.

Today this project is supported by symmetri who propose to access this first 3D visual search engine for testing (BETA version).

Now let symmetri present this very interessting project :

searchcube searches the World Wide Web for websites, videos and images and displays previews of each result on a unique, three-dimensional cube interface. Developed in Flash Actionscript 3 using Sandy 3D Engine and Tweener open source libraries.

Technically Searchcube uses the Google AJAX Search API. It displays the first thirty-two (32) results for each of websites, videos and images. The maximum total number of results returned is ninety-six (96) results. Where a preview is not available, the search result is not shown.

It is very pleasant to see this kind of new project coming, and be more than a simple demo or prototype.

Good job!
