Web+3.0+-+Virtual+Worlds+and+Augmented+Reality

Web 3.0 is a term used to describe the speculative future of the "web". It's generally used to indicate one of two pathways the internet seems to be taking in connecting human beings and various realities. For some years now, virtual worlds have hinted at one possibility and initiatives like OpenId and OpenAvatar are aimed at creating a web in which a 3-D representative of the user would "browse" the web in three dimensions. The other development, with the rise in use of mobile internet interfaces, is in the area of Augmented Reality, in which the internet is used to interact with the real world environment. Most speculation sees both of these technologies combining together into a hybrid "matrix" style existence for the web.
