Virtual Worlds and MMOG ( Massive Multiplayer Online Games) have become
very popular in 2007 with the hype around secondlife. There are around 150
          serious virtual worlds and 3d-chats at the moment and they are getting
            more and more each month.

People discover them as great entertainment and communication platforms.
Huge business possibilities are to find here, money and time savings, new
marketing and community concepts, education- and e-learning models, science,
psychology, just to mention some of them.

Where does this lead? Some say its just a hype. Some say its the new internet.
Bill Gates said in 1993 Internet was a hype and look where we are now. Its a
fact that 3D-concepts are very useful in many ways, we just have to get the ideas
to use it for our needs and choose the best technology for the special task.

  And there is another fact. People are vain. They want to be individual, attractive,
       unic. They want to express themselves, no matter how real the concept of the
         platform is. The new technologies are a huge challenge and often there is no
      space and time to pay special attention on the avatar appearance. All you tech-
     nical people and managers out there, we wanna look not just good, but gorgeous!
