3D Web

The internet is evolving very fast. About 14 years ago the World Wide Web started and now it is the biggest information network world wide. In 2003 new technologies came like web videos (YouTube), video/voice conferencing (Skype/Messenger) and the Web 2.0 applications like Google Earth changed the content of the internet.

Myspace and facebook the new web 2.0 applications have become some of the most popular internet sites with > 40 million users.

I predict that in less than one year there will be another big change of tsunami proportions. Many applications will be using the 3D VRW environments instead of the 2D web. Instead of a 2D internet browser like Firefox and Navigator people will using new browser programs to surf the 3D web.

In 2010 it is estimated that over 60 million users will be browsing, shopping, and creating new Virtual Real Worlds in 3D environment web space. Already now over one million people use the 3D internet in one form or another and it’s growing every day.

Companies have set up in the virtual world, selling shoes, cars and clothing to the residents. 20th Century Fox previews their new movies 3D online. Reuters and the BBC have opened an office in the 3D internet to report live news. There are live interviews in the virtual studios of Reuters.

By the end of 2008 Tele3dworld will start their 3D Virtual Real World globally. By the end of 2009 there will be over >20 million users.

MellaniuM will make the next step of the 3D internet and extend it to an amazing Virtual Real World platform.
