Mozilla is inviting people to take part in a new conceptual series that aims to envision the future design of web technologies, including browser and user-interface innovations, the company said.

As part of the series, Mozilla Labs has teamed up with Adaptive Path to create the Aurora browser, which demonstrates how an Internet browser might look in the future. Adaptive Path is a creative user-experience and design consultancy that is responsible for the recent redesign of the MySpace social-networking site.

In the first of a multi-segment demo of Aurora posted on Mozilla Labs’ website, a video shows how people might use a browser as a collaboration application, with instant-messaging capabilities available from directly in the browser.

It also demonstrates how people might send files directly to other browser users so they can immediately access them full-screen from within the browser.

Mozilla is hoping that people contribute similar ideas to the concept series for how web users can interact through groundbreaking user-interface design and the like.
