ALL THE SL/WEB TOOLS IN ONE!
The WebCafé concept is build on two simple ideas. The first one is that it should be possible to access from SL via a unique tool all the features and main functionalities of the web, as consult websites, view vids or slideshows, send emails and SMS, chat live with online friends or use webservices as GoogleMaps, collaborate through wiki tools, create and manage a blog... The second one is that a demand exists - and thus an economic model - for this kind of tool. WebCafé will be soon accessible as any IR cybercafé for a low rate, maybe L$200 or L$300 per hour (0,60 to 1 euro / US$1 to 1.30) for individuals.
For professionals, fully-equiped rooms with toolset platform, provided with personal and technical accompagnement and subject to restrict access permission (for confidentiality) are proposed for formations, meetings, workshops, shows, presentations, sessions or conferences. With extra additional functionalities such as webbrowsing limited (your company's website only), list of allowed users or private rooms or a wiki tool (collaborative editable documents)...
A video explaining all standard and extra features will be soon avalaible.
Next step to web 3.0 ?
FOR AN ALWAYS MORE OPEN AND STILL MORE IMMERSIVE WEB...
On one hand the web 'classic': sites to view, contents to load, datas to share. On another the web 2.0 with interactive services, social networks, user-generated contents... And on a third, virtual worlds closed on theirselves and where users/avatars interact with 3D with virtual realities... Are these three 'web-worlds' supposed to coexist for eternity, each one of them going its own way ? We think not. We believe in an open web where users (you, all of us...) will evolve in multiple universes, sharing contents - objects, datas, knowledges - building, learning and working together, and where each one of these 'web-worlds' will bring the best of what it got and the best of what it is.
Achieving that goal is possible only if each of these three 'web-worlds' offer access solutions to the others : the web 'classic' by allowing 3D immersive experience, web 2.0 by opening its networks to interconnected virtual worlds, and metavers by opening doors on the world flow of the billion of net datas. After SMSViewer and WebViewer, the WebCafé project is part of this logic, aiming to be something like a bridge between immersive virtual worlds, old 'flat-web' and 2.0 services of social and mobile internet.
We firmly got the conviction that from all these little footbridges launched a world to another emerging new generations of internet tools that will abolish the 'net borders' in which we are locked for to long - technological and conceptual boundaries without any other future than to disappear.
Web + Virtual Worlds = Interactivity in real-time collaboration
THE CONCEPT OF IMMERSIVITY
You are an enterprise looking for a solution to make people from different sites working together in a real-time process? or an university providing international formations from web, vids and slides supports? or an institution organizing virtual meetings around a new urbanistic project model? or a cultural event with live concerts, exhibitions or manifestations online broadcast? or a NGO organizing presentation sessions about its activities? or an event agency looking for new territories to invest? or an international firm aiming to organize its annual report presentation in virtual world because its low cost on environment (imagine carbon cost generated by moving thousand of people by car, train and plane)? Whatever you are the Virtual worlds/web contents convergence is today the most amazing, promising and innovative solution in terms of immersive interactivity, information ecology and new thinking ways of working together.
