Mapping a Path For the 3D Web 156

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday May 09, 2006 @12:16PM from the teh-intarwebs dept.

An anonymous reader writes to mention C|Net coverage of the Metaverse Roadmap Summit, an event designed to look at the future of 3D Web environments. From the article: "While many took issue with the basic premise that an overriding 3D Web will be in place within 10 years, it was clear that most in attendance relished mixing it up as part of an august group that included Microsoft's Robert Scoble, former Sony Online Entertainment chief creative officer Raph Koster, PARC researcher Bob Moore, online game pioneer Randy Farmer, There.com founder and currently IMVU CEO Will Harvey, and CNET Networks editor at large Esther Dyson."

Not just bulletin boards. Think Instant Messenger in 3D.

Like, say ... getting your butt out of the chair and meeting people in real life?

Oh wait, this is Slashdot... ;)
