From Web2.0 to Web3.D
April 20th, 2007 - Mitch Olson
There are lots of interesting developments going on in the Web2.0 space at present and the underlying technology supporting this. In working with leading web entrepreneurs and innovators we get an elevated perspective across many web-based products and service domains, and thereby get to see trends and common themes that may not be obvious to somebody working from a single perspective. From here we’re seeing the convergence of a number of trajectories;
- 3D virtualisation of space & real-time shared experience
- Increasing richer User generated content
- Social Affiliation & Identity expression
Where these trends meet are a number of interesting product & service possibilities where compelling social and entertainment experiences can be virtualised and brought to life. Over the last year we have been building a technology platform that supports the next generation of web-based products in this emerging territory. At the inaugural NZ Flex Developers Group which we hosted earlier this week we gave an early preview of a developer “test-rig” that demonstrates the beginnings of our OSVirtualVillage platform.
Over on our new Labs site you can see some screenshots of this - we’ll also be releasing a link to the real thing in the next week. Over the next month or so we’ll be gradually revealing more of OSVirtualVillage, and demonstrating how the immersive experience of 3D, combined with the accessibility of Flash Player, and the power and speed of development of Adobe Flex can create stunning new worlds.

Hi Guillermo
I’ll get one of our guys to post a tutorial on creating custom preloaders on the Labs site next week.
Cheers

The full example of this is really impressive. Are you using your own 3d engine to map the components to 3d objects as textures? I’ve been experimenting with papervision and would love to do something similar.

[…] All of these definitions speak to a general trajectory from loosely formed, more abstract & less direct forms of representation and expression to those which are more tangible, immediate, cohesive & sensate. I’ve spoken of these trends many times before, for instance here & here. […]
