Join the Wider Debate

Blogging on the Future of the 3D Web - More than virtual worlds .. what are the key enablers?

I have to tell you that after a marathon of web development yesterday and a start to the day of around 12 noon as a result of getting to bed at 6am I am feeling in need of TLC. As a result, this first post will not live up the usual rigour of good compelling English or must-read copy and for that I ask your forgiveness.

I always hope Blogs make you feel vitalised rather than like looking into somebody's 'life as a soap'. I know that this will deliver on that. Give me time.

So the Blog question is over to you - what are the key enablers for the success of 3D web - given the background of the DotCom Bomb?

To learn by seeing or experiencing virtually must be a more efficient method than the industrial age 2D text and images.

Comment by Thea Hardy on November 5, 2007 at 7:27pm: Looking for a place to discuss the gamut - 3DWeb, yes, serious games, yes, but also issues with scientific visualization which we do a good bit of, creating interactive learning gizmos that are not necessarily equivalent of serious games in scope, all the range of utilizing our constantly updating technology to inform, educate and sell. Hoping this forum will address a greater range of work.

Comment by Ken Rigby (MellaniuM, Tele3dworld) on November 5, 2007 at 5:27pm: The future of the 3DWeb is the future; after attending the Como Forum enough risk analysis will ensure that a 3DWeb bubble will not occur; for web3 and web4 milestones.

Switching to Unity3D

Since Blink 3D (like Adobe Atmosphere before it) has failed to thrive, I have switched to Unity3D. I am now in the process of converting my Blink projects to Unity. Check out the Unity version of the Virtual Roman House at http://www.medievalist.net/unityworlds/romanhouse.htm and the Virtual Byzantine Church at http://www.medievalist.net/unityworlds/crossinoctag… Continue

Certification of VW for "Fit for Purpose" or higher?

If it was necessary to get a airworthiness certificate web.alive would be the only one at present to pass. Solid designed (de-facto) engine, tested for over 6 years in UT, etc. Server-side security, CRM data, usability, automatic VOIP 3D spacial audio embedded, password protection, admin control (ability to kick, ban, etc,) staight of the peg or bespoke environments.

"Indie" game engines vs De-Facto 3D game engines

"Indie" game engines do not have the stability/past performance record to achieve the required stability for professional applications. Factors of security, functionality, re-usability. tutorials, user knowledge has been acquired and built for over 10 years. Why try to invent the wheel; just find new ways to use it, is the challange now. Costs; we can provide a be-spoke VW using web.alive from £25K and can host for around £1K/Month for 20 peak port users. Why bother to create your own?

Immersive Environments using Web.Alive

There are game engines, originally created for development of computer/video games, which can be used for non-game virtual worlds. Unreal Engine (UE) by Epic Games ( http://www.unrealtechnology.com ) is probably the strongest, robust and most popular. UE is a complete 3D development framework for PCs, Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3, providing a vast array of core technologies, content creation tools, and support infrastructure.
Main features of the Unrea… Continue
