The 3D Web and Virtual Worlds
Interesting post about the future of virtual worlds. There is a move to make the independent worlds able to interface with each other as part of a virtual 3D web. Thanks to Stephen Downes for the link to this paper from: "Today's virtual worlds represent the first phase of 3D Web. Dedicated servers running their own virtual worlds are to 3D Web what MySpace is to today's Web. In the future, 3D Web will be a network of virtual worlds that are owned by various entities. The success of virtual worlds will depend on factors such as openness, enterprise-strength platforms, vibrant communities, and a portfolio of services." Read the paper here.
