Not sure if I was clear on some of my idea
This project has an underlying goal of ubiquitousness (sic?)
I want an app that anyone can d/l log onto and be in the verse aka BE IN the
web
The territory already exists! It's the network.
LOL hiding right in front of us!!!
The map is but drawing lines of relation between ip points and visualizing
in an appropriate way... aka network mapping {probably with bsp of some
sort}
There is nothing new here but a shift in paradigms
SL {second life} relies on membership login and then a captive audience that
is allowed to manipulate the one and only environment
Now what I am talking about is basically a way of navigating the web
completely in 3d
People are mapping the net already and using vrml to display these images
http://www.opte.org/
There is nothing arcane, sinister or nuclear about this, just a difference
in approach
So hypothetically,
one could go online and load up this 3d browser you would be 'in' as well as
'on' the web!
Not some pocket verse such as SL is
To continue:
one could designate a special port on a/your server that would be serve
custom 3d content for that server
this would then graft onto the existing network map
{ see above opte link for map examples }
The client app would be able to serve the above custom 3d on said port as
well as help update the opte maps ,
Its seti like in that way it maps the internet... using multiple clients to
help

Those are fabulous worlds!
Yanno, it ain't decent that with as many really stunning VRML worlds as
there are out there that SL gets all the publicity. OTOH, as a musician I
learned long ago that only money matters. As long as SL is the big member
site, it will get the press, but wow, there are some extremely impressive
VRML worlds out there when one goes looking. SL gets credit for 'inventing
the metaverse' but it's been right here the whole time.
We ought to take Clayton up on the 'map of the VRMLverse' idea so people can
roam around without having to know where each author's stuff is at.

Incidentally, have you seen the clouds in Stuart (StanOgden'sNeck)
William's world Innsmouth? Impressive! Texture mapped moving clouds in a
moonlight night.
