PC Advisor: more online worlds in the future

the future may be modelled after WoW - Image 1In an article that appeared in PC Advisor, it’s been said that the future of the internet exists in living online. Basically, the writer pays tribute to the success of online worlds enjoyed in such online games as World of Warcraft, EVE Online and Second Life, among others.

The writer, who goes by the name Walker Spaight in EVE and Second Life (in case you may bump on him there), was quoted to have said, “It may sound a bit sci-fi, but the advances of the past 15 years suggest that we’ll continue to integrate our physical selves more and more tightly with the informational processes going on around us.”

We see his point. Spaight suggested exploring the possibilities of constructing 3D worlds for even the most basic online applictions, such as email, instant messaging, chat, VoIP (voice over IP) and video-conferencing. Imagine experiencing – not just watching –  a news update online, by walking through locations and talking to witnesses themselves, through 3D representations of real people, real buildings and real locations.

There’s more to be read in the whole article, but someday, we may not just have to read these writings – we may even be able to experience them, through our avatars.
