Hello again and welcome to another horrendously overdue blog. Apologies once again, i kept putting it off and putting it off until i was literally staring deadline in the face. This blog will be focusing on the differences between regular instant messaging and 3d instant messaging.
Upon observing the active worlds website the first obvious difference to me is that the 3d form takes on a gameplay aspect which I would assume take away from the chatting aspect anyway. I have been using Msn Messenger for roughly 6 or 7 years and i use it for the sole purpose of speaking to one another, which leads me to believe on first impression that 3d chat may be too elaborate.
It is interesting to note, that while the gameplay aspect may take away from the simplicity of basic chat, the visual aspect gives way to a whole new realm of communication. Whilst msn offers gameplay and interacting in the form of file transfer, and the rather primitive checkers 3d chat allows you to digitally interact with one another, simulating that of real life.
I was vaguely aware of the ability to immerse yourself in an interactive world, but this has opened my eyes in terms of technological advancement. Personally, if someone was to chat regularly on one of these sites they may experience a mild form of addiction which would take away from their ability to communicate with others in real life. Overall though, this is most certainly an interesting form of technology, and I'm interested to see where it will lead in the future...
Cheers for the task, I found it pretty interesting... have a good one...
Cam.
