MICRO 'BUZZ' ARTICLE FROM GEO

BROADBAND - THE CONVERGENCE OF TECHNOLOGY - THE ENABLER FOR 3D?
As a ‘3D World Developer’ you will understand that in less than 10 years, on-line shared 3D environments will rival TV and Cinema. This is inevitable. Multi-User 3D spaces of the future
Cyberspace) enable community and communication.

1. Imagine your favourite book as a living 3D world with real human inhabitants as well as AI bots
2. Multi-User, Virtual Soap Opera - sounds like a big money spinner!
3. Remote Distant Learning in 3D - "now children, stand right on the edge of the volcano while I tell you all about lava"
4. Live theatrical and musical performances in shared 3D spaces - world wide audience
5. Groups, communities and societies will have their own on-line worlds
6. Corporate worlds
7. Restricted Adult Worlds - Gambling and Sex
8. 3D Chat Worlds - Dating, romance, friendship
9. Public 3D Spaces - shopping
10. Cartoon Worlds - 3D worlds for children
11. Surreal artistic worlds
12. Games - Last but not least, gigantic persistent 3D gaming worlds

The first phase of 3D Virtual Reality (Cyberspace), over the next few decades will duplicate reality - the good and the bad, the healthy and the unhealthy. It will be dangerous, it will be a
learning experience, it will be compelling - it will be just like the real world and more, much more. And let's not forget Haptic feedback devices, laser retinal injection systems etc., to really get
that being there feeling. In the future 3D Virtual Worlds will be sold like Hollywood films - 'A Branded Product'. The film will just be an advert for the 3D World - Go there, live it, buy the t-shirt.

Regards,

Mary
