“E15 is a research project. Imagine an internet where you (not the site designer) were able to decide how to view and experience web content. Imagine an internet where web servers didn’t just give you a static chunk of html, css, and javascript, but exactly the content you asked for. Imagine navigating an internet where the content maintained a degree of spatial relevance. E15 is a platform that enables end users to  experience this internet, an internet beyond the browser.”
