VR in the Web Browser - Using 3D-Xplorer

[Greg Lambert]

I saw a CNET posting yesterday about 3D-Xplorer and its free 3D VR software that runs directly in the web browser. Since we aren't allowed to use programs like Second Life at work (boo!!), this seemed like a great way to still do virtual meetings. It uses JAVA, and takes a while to get initialized the first couple of times, but it seems like a pretty cool product.

I've set up a VR-Room from my 3 Geeks and a Law Blog site, if anyone wants to kick the tires of this software.

Is anyone else tried this yet?? I'd love to test the "conference" version, but really don't want to spend $49.00 a month on it.

Hi Greg,
Apparently no one has tried it here, but there are already several customers who have started using including US governmental orgizanitions, some small businesses as well as a few Fortune 100 corporations. If you want to see how it works, you can try it for free. You just have some watermarks on the screen. But you can see all the features and decide if it works for you.
Assuming it does work for you, then $49 is not even a small fraction of the cost of traveling (any travel). The product is priced at the same level as traditional , non-3D, online meeting solutions.
Running meetings with 3DXplorer is a unique exciting experience, which will become very common in the near future.
