Week 13

  I am still waiting for my site supervisor to give me feedback on my latest project on new virtual worlds and the latest companies who have created them. Although I have not had any experience using virtual and 3D worlds, I did learn much about them including their purposes, the many types available, and the people that use them.

  I went to websites for many virtual environments and the companies creating them, gathered screenshots of their logos and basic information about them, which will be placed into upcoming editions to The Consumer Guide To Virtual Worlds and The Enterprise Guide To Virtual Worlds. Readers of the guides that are members of The Association of Virtual Worlds and other individuals and companies can learn about these new virtual and 3D worlds so they know what virtual technology is now available that can benefit them professionally, improve their businesses, and also entertain them whenever they use virtual and 3D worlds for play.

  Virtual and 3D environments are now able to provide people with tourism locations, allow them to visit virtual versions of cities such as GeoSimPhilly that is a virtual Philadelphia or Wild Style City that is a virtual San Francisco enabling users to tag virtual graffiti; but also to allow people around the world to interact, make friends, play games together, create 2D and 3D content, and share music and music related information.

  Readers of the upcoming guides will know that there are many virtual and 3D worlds that can appeal to all sorts of individuals and companies, and which ones are intended for them and that will best meet their professional and entertainment needs.
