"An Australian company on Thursday launched a free tool it says offers
web browsers a world-first opportunity to view the Internet in three
dimensions.
Melbourne-based ExitReality (http://www.exitreality.com/) said its
application allows users to turn any regular website into a 3D virtual
environment, where an avatar representing them can walk around and meet
other browsers viewing the same website.
Founder Danny Stefanic said that previously only specialised websites
such as Second Life and World of Warcraft allowed users to enter a 3D
environment.
"ExitReality goes far beyond that," he said. "It allows you to view not
just one website but the entire World Wide Web in 3D."
Browsers can use the tool to turn their social networking pages on sites
such as Facebook and MySpace into a virtual apartment, where photographs
are displayed on the wall and links to friends are "doors" leading to
other apartments."
