Virtual Worlds are becoming an embedded part of our culture and the implications for every aspect of society are unimaginable.

14.30-15.00 Pathways to the 3D Web
What happens when video games meet Web 2.0? When virtual worlds meet geospatial maps of the planet? When simulations get real and life and business go virtual? When you use a virtual Earth to navigate the physical Earth, and your avatar becomes your online agent? The Metaverse Roadmap is an extensive 10-year technology forecast and 20-year visioning survey of virtual and 3D Web technologies, markets, and applications.
