It seems Nokia and Intel are not stopping at just a MeeGo collaboration. The platform that merges Moblin and Maemo, which we are secretly hoping to see at next month's Nokia World show in London. The two companies have apparently set up a joint research facility at the University of Oulu's Centre for Internet Excellence in Finland.
The foremost task for the approximately two dozen white coat researchers based there is to create next-generation graphical experiences for MeeGo by leveraging on the Centre's 3D Internet research community. There's also a chance that these user interfaces may also be deployed on other platforms that use 3D graphics.
Don't get your hopes too high though, since there's no word on when we'll actually see the first results, but virtual reality on a phone doesn't seem too far off now. Just the idea of talking to a 3D hologram already has us wishing the future was here already.
