Now since I came up with this idea a long time ago, many versions have
been tried, including VRML.

Keep in mind even google earth has the capacity to allow you to fly
above it, on plotted routes or manned controls, and those images are
real photographic images from space.

Now since I originally gave them the fuzzy logic for their search engine
for free, (expecting we would all like to enjoy it and I had no budget)
you would think they might be forward thinking enough to adapt that
google earth of their to accommodate the joys of flying over the earth
in your own little spaceship.

And then if you are a fan of Tom cruise and have an AI assistant he can
sit there beside you, or stand, and be your copilot.

While you take on the forces of evil, flying like a crazy person, taking
flack, and making the zombies on the ground run for cover as you strafe
them into submission.

Then back to the WOW (speculative name for Worlds of Wonder) what you
might surf instead of the 2D web, where people construct their own
little veldts, and can reach into your cockpit even for your amusement
if you film that in 3D.

If you don't want to always fly the WOW then you can use your setup to
simply beam from place to place like a transporter.

Since it is immersive and graphic based, things like banners can enter
the cockpit, and immerse you in a real environment. After the girls
upstairs have sent you packing downstairs without your jello mold
serving, you can go adventuring in different worlds.

Now if you make those worlds look fake well, then what you see is what
you get.

If you want hits and to sell some small ads, then you might be advised
to make a bigger better world.

Now that you are a transformer, or a fighting robot of some kind, people
will respect you.

If you merely get beamed into Sir Isaac Newton's study, you will still
be taking a virtual trip, into a virtual museum exhibit.

Any company like Apple, that can give you a real 3D experience like
that, has a better chance of tying in their other products with your WOW
experience.
