Their Idea

'Their idea: Electric World' is a resource to engage and support understanding of electronics. To do this "Electric World" uses a virtual 3 Dimensional model spanning the last five centuries. The model traces the development of today's electrical products such as the telephone and computer back to William Gibert (1544-1603), a scientist who first coined the term "electricity".

World - with chat enabled (using low resolution textures)

Visit to see the shops between The Angel N1 Centre, and the Business Design Centre - you can enjoy without fear of getting caught up in the rush hour crowd!

World covers 4* 100m squares on national grid.

NOTE:Content requires a plug-in that should automatically start to download.

If you are unable to chat , it is likely that you are behind a firewall. This can be solved by opening the firewall to allow Atmosphere to communicate with the chat servers. It uses port 5555 and 5560 to 5565.

I use the terms "interactive 3D" and "virtual reality" interchangeably on this site, and to mean the same thing.
