Hypercube is the result of a bachelor thesis titled "Conception and prototyping of a modern browser's user interface". It is a JavaScript-based prototype used for visualizing ideas expressed in the concept which are:

• the browser in the background
• a different approach to bookmark management
• focus on navigation

Limitations and other important information about the prototype can be found in the bachelor thesis. While previous versions were running as a Chrome Extension and a Chrome App, the most recent ones can run as a stand-alone application based on node-webkit.

• Download node-webkit
• Execute the included nw executable with the path to this directory as a parameter (e.g. ~/programs/nw .)

libudev.so.0 is missing when executing node-webkit's nw executable:

• Linux x64: sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
• Linux x86: sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
