Goggle lively, is a superb web2.0 application, which utilises the interactivity of 3d virtual worlds with a simple integration.
Currently in beta, it is new and fresh, giving plenty of scope for new users to create virtual room, interact with friends or customers in your own space
thanks for taking time out to look at web2.0
Web2.0 is pleased to hear Linden Lab are finally opening up the web on a prim, a feature in the offing for over two years.
With the 1.19.1 Release Candidate, available today, we’ve made some
changes to the overall way that media is played inworld which results
in a more general approach to playing media and, more importantly,
allows you to display various types of Web content on your parcel!
This is a great step toward further interoperability with the Web,
which we’ve been discussing for some time.
The current parcel media player allows you to stream audio or video
(or both!) to visitors on your parcel. The parcel owner controls what
is played on the parcel and visitors to the parcel control whether or
not they want to listen or see the media. (Visit the Knowledge Base
for more information on how media on a parcel works currently).
The new media on a parcel feature allows landowners to select and
display a wide range of Web-based media content, including Web pages,
movies, images, text documents and audio. This change replaces and
expands the existing QuickTime parcel media feature, giving you more
flexibility in your media presentations. Currently, the displayed
media is entirely non-interactive, meaning you will only be able to
view and not be able to click web links, use scroll bars, or press
buttons on web pages displayed on parcels, although we hope to add
this functionality in the future.
A further big hitter entering the fray of web2.0 properties is NASA.
The NASA Learning Technologies (LT) Project Office supports projects that deliver NASA relevant content through innovative applications of technologies to enhance education in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Research and development in each of the STEM areas are at the core of the LT mission. LT seeks to enhance formal and informal education in STEM fields with the goal of increasing the number of students in those fields of study. The LT is currently evaluating the development of a NASA-based massively multiplayer online educational game (MMO).
A NASA-based MMO built on a game engine that includes powerful physics capabilities could support accurate in-game experimentation and research. It should simulate real NASA engineering and science missions in a medium that is comfortable and familiar to the majority of students in the United States today.
Until 15 February 2008, this opportunity is open to tender NASA MMO
