Being stuck indoors, off work and bored out of my skull I've moved on from just an addiction with Second Life into a very deep interest in Web 3.0 phenomena such as the metaverse. And I was happily reading my weekly edition of the Economist today found a very interesting leader... Break Down These Walls!
There is a lot of controversy in these virtual worlds... do they become the next stage in the evolution of the internet or do they descend into being places to live out lives little fantasies?
To be honest I think it's kind of nice to see somewhere fantastical. Second Life has some extremely interesting places where dragons roam and Stargates appear. And I think that that can be something that remains a part of the evolution of the coming 3D web interfaces.
Web 3D is already here. With this innovative Facebook application, you can turn photos of your real head into a photorealistic 3D avatar and start your own virtual relay.
