Appears to be a lot of startups trying to take 3D out of the realm of gaming and into the mainstream. I came across another one earlier today on Techcrunch. http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/16/exitreality-turns-social-network-profiles-into-3d-spaces/ Looks like we are seeing something interesting happening in this space..

Marrying 3d virtual worlds with the Web for mass consumption and distribution is right on the mark. Congrats Vivaty. I look forward to trying the app soon. I've also come across and have been using a similar application on Facebook called SceneCaster (http://apps.facebook.com/scenecaster). This is a really fascinating application as it allows you to create your own virtual space,customize it from a library of 3d models, including from Google's 3D Warehouse, publish and share it on Facebook, link your 3D space to any website or URL and also to embed your space on your blog, etc. Very cool.

I just wanted to clear up one the quotes in the article and add a little more context. Our company's vision for the immersive web is all about enabling everyone of all ages and interests to experience the web in a more engaging way. In my discussions the NY Times I did note that the Vivaty experience would feel completely natural to the 15-35 year old generation who are, in general, a little more familiar with avatars, 3D environments, and video game like experiences. This is not to exclude any other age groups younger or older, or to say that they also would not enjoy the experience or find it natural. We want to make the experience we're creating as universal as possible. That's our aim. /keith Thanks for your post.

As a result, instead of having to actually use the office space, people within the company could all utilize this feature to just be at their desks from wherever they are located at the time to log in and meet. As a result, it could create an artificial conference room and workers could log in from places as far as China. Some people might also "feel at home" if the virtual room mimics the actual office where they typically meet. This could be a powerful communication tool to all corporate rolls. I know with my job right now, we all dial in and have a meeting through a chat room. However, using visual representations is extremely difficult. By having a virtual room with a presentation going on while people are chatting, it would be interactive and would allow for easier communication. Regards, -Albert @Eric Eldon,

I think this is amazing and speaks very low of either his product, or the his impression of older Internet users. We are so very beyond the days of the children always knowing more than the parents. I am 48 and a very active resident in SL. Have been for some time. We extremely active in online chat for many many years. I am not alone. There are hundred's of thousands people over 40 using these kind applications everyday. I see this app. becoming a very normal part of any web site as it matures. I also expect the elderly to embrace it as a way to keep socially active beyond the senior center. I've met many over 60 people in SL, they are a vital and active as the 28 year old residents and you'd never know they were older if that didn't tell you.

I could definitely see this going into the corporate world for conferences and meetings as well. That would be a powerful demographic to target. I think the demographic of teenagers is also going to be a good niche. Most teens these days like to customize their own private virtual worlds. Seems nifty.
