Hot Sauce

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HotSauce , previously known as Project X , is software developed by Apple in the mid-1990s for the three-dimensional visualization of websites . Using the data format Meta Content Format , HTML references contained in a WWW page were displayed in tree form in a three-dimensional peep box. By clicking on the links you could get to the page whose address you had clicked on.

Hotsauce was implemented using an expansion module for WWW browsers that was offered for 68K , PowerMacintosh and Windows computers.

Soon after the technology was presented, Netscape expressed interest and agreed to support the format. Netscape planned to support it in its own Constellation project . Within a short period of time, hundreds of large offers on the Internet made meta information available in meta content format, including Yahoo! . Even so, Apple stopped developing the project in 1997, shortly after Steve Jobs returned to the company.

HotSauce is now regarded as an early feasibility study for a 3D finder for the Macintosh operating system Mac OS .
