In partnership with Mozilla Labs, as part of the Labs’ browser concept series, the user experience gurus over at Adaptive Path are attempting to conceptualize a possible path of evolution for the future of the Mozilla web browser; code named Aurora.

Aurora presents a number of very interesting visual approches; however, it also — to me, highlights the current state of data overload that users experience with today’s web. Although this browser interface and its control mechanisms are fairly effective ways to navigate through massive amounts of data it almost seems to highlight a much larger problem.

Is our appetite for data on the web out growing the “Browser”?

I eagerly await the future installments of the Aurora videos. Especially Part 4, which would look to be a touch interface to the browser.

Keep in mind this is a colaborative effort. If any of this type of work interests you I would urge you to meet Mozilla Labs’ call for participation and weigh in on the conversation.
