Also known as virtual worlds, 3D Internet is a powerful new way to reach consumers, business customers, co-workers, partners and students. It combines the immediacy of the television, the versatile content of the Web and the strengths of creating relationships from social networking sites like Face book. However, unlike the passive experience of television, the 3D Internet is intrinsically interactive and attractive.
Virtual worlds provide immersive 3D experiences that replicate (and in some cases exceed) real life. People who participate in virtual worlds stay online longer with a higher level of interest. To take advantage of this interest, various companies and organizations have called for early participation in this rapidly growing market. They include technological leaders like IBM, Microsoft and Cisco, companies like BMW, Toyota, Circuit City, Coca Cola and Calvin Klein, and dozens of universities, including Harvard, Stanford and Penn State.
The success of 3D communities and mapping applications, combined with falling production costs for 3D environments, are leading some analysts to predict that a dramatic shift is occurring in the way people view and navigate Internet.
The appeal of 3D worlds to consumers and suppliers lies in the immersion level offered by the programs. The experience of interacting with another character in a 3D environment, unlike a screen name or a flat image, adds a new appeal to the act of socializing on the Internet.
The ads in the Microsoft Virtual Earth 3D mapping application are placed as posters and signs on top of the buildings, combining with the cityscape of the application.
3D worlds also have benefits beyond simple social interactions. Companies that specialize in interior design or furniture showrooms, where users want to see entire rooms from a variety of angles and perspectives, will be able to offer customized models through users' home PCs.
Google representatives report that Google is preparing a revolutionary new product called Google Goggles, an interactive viewer that will present Internet content in three dimensions. Apparently, recent rumors of a Google phone refers to a product that is much more innovative than the recent Apple iPhone.
