Google 今天推出了一款新的 Beta 服务,叫做 Lively。安装完客户端之后,运行并登录 Lively 即可使用。以下是来自 Google Blogoscoped 的介绍:
Once you logged into a room, you can start customizing your avatar. First you can pick from a base type – like male, female or animal – and then you can fine-tune your hair, skin color, eyes and more. You’ll then see yourself surrounded by other avatars, and there’s background music and lots of laughing, grunting and other noises. The graphic has a lighthearted cartoon touch, reminiscent of something like a Lucasarts 3D game. When you talk by using the chat box at the bottom, your words appear as speech bubble above your character.
另外,还有一个 3D 产品在今天再次宣布(之前已经宣布过)。Vivaty 目前支持 Facebook 和 AIM:
面对这一切,微软将如何应对呢?我们的朋友 Jamie 总结了一些“线索”:
- In Fall (I call it Autumn) 2007 a Microsoft exec said to expect big things in about a year or so.
- There’s a big Virtual Earth release coming up in fall 2008 so says a Virtual Earth evangelist.
- Someone involved with building 3D models in Virtual Earth has come out and said that Microsoft are building a virtual world using Virtual Earth.
2008 年秋季,Virtual Earth 将推出大更新。并且,一位微软 Virtual Earth 3D 建模员工称,微软正在构建基于 Virtual Earth 的虚拟世界。
另外,我们之前介绍过 Microsoft 与 Dassault Systemes 宣布 3DVia,3DVia 是一款免费的在线应用,由 Dassault Systèmes 开发,允许用户想象和创建 3D 模型,如:建筑和结构,并通过 Virtual Earth 和在线社区共享。以及,微软买下 Caligari,继续扩展 Virtual Earth 3D 功能,因为 Caligari 已经拥有 3D 产品 TrueSpace。
但总的来说,我们目前还没有确切的信息来证明微软将在不久之后推出 3D 服务。 😛 大家可以留言发表自己的看法。
