So the next big thing will be some version of minecraft? Or perhaps
the older toontalk? Agentcubes? What is the right 3D metaphor? Does
anyone have a comfortable metaphor? It would seem like if there was
an open, federated MMO system that supported object lifecycles, we
would have something. Do we have an "object web" yet, or are we stuck
with text forever, with all the nasty security vunerabilities
involved? Yes I agree that we lost something when we moved to the
web. Perhaps we need to step away from the document model purely for
security reasons.
DIS (Distributed Internet Simulation) or HLA (High Level Architecture) -
both are distributed, real-time object protocols for managing very
complex virtual worlds (specifically, military simulations and wargames).
