Another 3d virtual world

A new 3D world to explore. I believe we're going to see an increasing proliferation of these. Linden Labs has had the monopoly (and still does), however, there are some key areas that they have not listened to their users - with the teen and lack of an educational grid as an example.

This app lets you control cad and 3d environments like Google Sketchup. Really, the Ipad is now an interface with your regular computer and it is only beginning. The Maide video is definitely worth a watch and if you do anything with 3D design or CAD, this is worth a look.

NYU Medical students wear 3-D glasses and dissect a virtual cadaver projected on a screen. The professor says "it's like a living digital textbook." I do, however, really hope my doctors have experience with the human body and don't do like a kid who has practiced basketball and never played in the game - bumble the ball as they start. No one wants to be a practice dummy - in this case a practice cadaver. Yet, do you realize that we could now add human dissection to anatomy class? In 3D you could dissect the human body? There are very exciting things coming in this area.

The next evolution of connecting the world online - a great topic for a video.

Would love to see us look into 3D learning as well - from an older article in 1997.

Web 3 -- what is it? What will it look like?

Web 3.0 and how the web is evolving is a part of current discussion. Some say Web 3D is more likely with Second Life like environments merging with the Semantic web. This is a great site for those working on inventing and predicting what will happen.

Learn about Web 3.0 and what is coming.

This is a Wireless Connectivity article on what is the overview over it!

Bjork releases an album along with 3D images in an app for the ipad. This is how artists and music are evolving. It is the first of its kind. Interesting. I'm sending this to our Flat Classroom students as they study how technology is impacting arts, entertainment, and leisure. This would make a fascinating video.

This article is just an example of how people use social networking

Long, but very interesting - It is a Law Review article.

when you talk about web 3d and how the world is changin as it relates to virtual worlds, you should include this link.

Link your virtual worlds together with Myrl. Fascinating tool and interrelated with 3 d environments.

This is an article that talks about the different things that Motorola does with wireless connection!

Second life allows you to build an online world. You can either look like yourself, or make your avatar look completely different. It is kind of like you are traveling around the world, and do anything you want, and communicate while you're doing it.
