The network was to have allowed virtual communities both local and global to grow.

For example: -

• Unlike a TV picture, which does not allow for any real interaction between the viewer and the sender, the network was to allow all the people connected, to use their own avatars to interact in much the same way they do in real life, but unlike real life, the users could have gone flying, or done just about anything. VR is an infinite playground within non-space, that the masses will love. Although many examples already exist such as second life etc, compared to what is to come, we ain`t seen nothing yet.

• In real life, like-minded people only ever seem to meet up by accident, but virtual environments could reflect all types of interests so giving like-minded people from all over the world the opportunity to meet up, all within the virtual environments that reflected their interests. (i.e. people into Egypt could meet up inside a virtual copy of the great pyramid etc).

Above is an incredibly lame version of the principle?

• The public were also to be given the option of seeing only the people in their local areas within any of the virtual environments. This should have allowed online users, to meet people from their own local areas. This was also seen as being advantageous to both local advertisers and local communities, imagine it being like an incredibly focused localised search engine. This is the future for search engine technology, with most of the world becoming increasingly virtualised and then accessed from any net device, whilst displaying other individuals, goods and services available to you within whichever area you happen to be in.

• This could also have given rise to online local debates, local chat shows, quiz shows or games etc and these could even have been set within digitised versions of peoples own local areas.

• As the virtualisation industry takes a hold, then users may even have had their own local shops virtualised, thus giving the users the ability to enter a virtual copy of their own local shopping environments.

• This could give rise to a whole host of new online interactivities.

• Local VR style markets could have begun to grow and trade, thus allowing the VR network middleman to profit from both local and global markets.
