Testing out ExitReality
If you haven’t seen it yet, the ExitReality plug-in for Internet Explorer aims to present the 2D web in 3D. It’s in Beta at the moment and I gave it a rough and ready test drive today.
While I don’t think it’s a virtual world replacement — I can’t help but be impressed that they’re out there swinging.

Thanks for the Twitter mention and post on Exitreality. Couldn’t get the video to work though…?

[...] I still haven’t managed to get it to work, but my colleague KerryJ has done a bit of a vid of it, if you want to take a look. Since then I’ve been looking around at other kinds of 3D experiences that are browser based [...]
Your warts-n-all style of presentation certainly gives a good impression of the clunky unresponsive interface. This sort of immersive interface is definitely the way of the future … when they get it right. Thanks for saving us the hassle of installing Exitreality just to have a look, but I just wish you’d taken a bit of time to familiarise yourself with the product (like how to hide the box covering the right half of the screen).
Hi Paul
I just couldn’t get rid of the damned thing – tried on three separate occasions.
I think that unless you build a web site specifically to be rendered in that sort of way, the tool is going to fall over. A bit like using 3-D glasses to view a 2-D movie.
Cheers!
