After I have checked out one 3D Worlds websites Active Worlds, I would like to answer the following two questions.
what are the qualitative differences between the regular IM program and a 3D environment?
The IM program always run on my desktop while a 3D envoronment always in full screen. When I use an IM prgram, I will can do something else and I am not really in the program. If I am in a 3D program, I only stays in the vitual world. Another different is the visual effect. I can look around in the virtual world while I can chatting online and remebering who I am all the time in front of a computer. I also can use my body language in the virtual world.
What is different about the kinds of socialising that happens in these spaces?
Body language and flying/crusing in this world may happen easily.
Does the 3D aspect make much difference?
Yes, of course. It makes me feel interesting and real.
In other words, are there things that are possible in one space that are not possible in the other?
Definitely. For example, you can shake your body in the virtual world while you can shake your body in font of your PC while typing on your MSN.
Could you think of where this sort of application might lead us?
Yes. It may leads the future and people may live in, just like the Matrix. People will not die, they can process his date which means transplant his memory to a virtual world, then he is alive all the time.
