there is a website i go to every so often... www.cybertown.com
it is a virtual 3d world where people can get a house, a job, objects, etc. and interact with others. there are cities, neighborhoods, blocks... the higher your rank the more experience points you get, which lets you get better jobs. i've been there since april 19, 2000 and i have about 6100 exp. (though i haven't gone there in a while).
the following will interest you. Hawk, the founder, knew he needed to get help financially and decided to make it a pay site. i will not pay, and january 1, 2003 is the first day of that new system. this was the last time i will log in, but there seems to be a new technology - "silhouette" - that will improve things everywhere... i suggest you read his announcement...

i found something about the general topic of IVN/Silhouette though only VRML is mentioned, (next to nothing about it on the web, this site is in french, so go to altavista or google to translate...)
