 6: How to design a comprehensive environment for exploring, contributing to “programs/animations/simulations” in a warehouse as opposed to static models
 7: 
 8: (% class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;" %)
 9: Unlike the Google 3D warehouse where static models are the only inhabitants, a new generation of warehouses that contain programs, visualizations, animations, etc. will provide a more complex set of challenges for designers. Not only will users need to quickly scan and explore these new more complex models but they will also need a simple way to contribute to them.

13: 
14: * **Netflix and YouTube:**

It invested a large amount of money to make its content personalizable, quickly searchable, and it also employs many techniques to help users quickly preview content including but not limited to: personalized rating system, statistics about each video, summaries of content, user reviews, and when available trailers. (% style="font-family: Wingdings;" %)?(%%) But Netflix only has to incorporate professional content into its repository!
17: * YouTube is a participatory, video sharing website.
