We have the Metaverse.
We have the Metaverse. It's called Second Life. It works reasonably well. Second Life already supports the Oculus Rift. See " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWE91IB9QMI" . They still seem to be struggling with the control side of the user interface, but somebody will think of something. Maybe a Wii controller. (Basic problem of virtual reality: looking around, moving, and shooting work great. Everything else is hard.) From Mozilla, we have "Now imagine a Minecraft that under the hood was HTML, CSS, and JavaScript". Ugh. There was a previous idea like this. It was called Web3D, and it's VRML 97 in XML syntax. "A spinning logo in 40 characters" was claimed. Anybody remember Web3D? Anybody? Hello? Also, putting on headgear to browse the web seems a bit much. You can build it, but will they come? The web is going in the other direction, towards small mobile devices. (Mozilla's video won't play in Firefox 33 on Ubuntu Linux. Their Javascript video player crashed with a type error at line 1790 of "vjs.js". And those guys think using Javascript will make things better. The annoying thing about the Mozilla Foundation is that their core product keeps getting worse. Firefox crashes more now than it did three years ago. The number of unfixed bugs increases over time. Mozilla has a huge technical debt; the code base goes back to the Netscape days, and it shows.)
