Virtual networking.. the next tentative step?

April 23rd, 2008

For what seems like ages I have been banging on about the next stage of the net quite possibly being virtual (for more click here) which in practice would be about entering a website in its three dimensional form rather than just viewing a flat presentation of photos and text etc..

My idea is that you would be able to interact amidst a virtual community of people; which could be people who are part of your ministry or business. As an example you could participate in a virtual office where you would walk over to a colleague who may well be physically located in another city and have a voice chat, share documents etc..

Right at the cutting edge of this transition to the virtual is the Australian outfit ExitReality. Aside from having a seriously ill conceived name (leave reality? huh? ‘EnterReality’ or some such wording would have been better) they have come up with a product that enables you to view your social network of choice (such as Facebook MySpace or a range of others) within a virtual setting. What is exciting about this is that it is another step towards seeing the virtual become the internet platform.

Check out the very cool video on this below.
