"Clock" by Institut für Informationssysteme und Computer Medien (IICM) Hyper-G was a Gopher based Web Content Management System (WCMS), developed by the Institute for Information Processing and Computer Supported New Media (IICM) from Graz University of Technology, Austria in 1995. It was an alternative to the Hyperlinks of the World Wide Web, making use of Hyper-G enabled Browsers, which could display 3D models of directories and files, as well as other models, with a built-in viewer. Due to it being based on the increasingly obsolete Gopher, the predecessor to the WWW, it later evolved into Hyperwave in 1996, without the extra capabilities Hyper-G browsers offered, such as the 3D functions. The vast majority of its content is now lost due to how the files were stored with Gopher. |
