3D Websites to Transform the Internet?

3D dimensional websites have the potential to revolutionize how we develop sites on the internet. Although still relatively new, the recent surge in their numbers, mainly as additions to traditional 2D sites cannot be ignored.

(PRWEB) October 17, 2005 -- Are 3 dimensional websites the future of the internet or simply an interesting idea?

Judging by the world’s reaction to the launch of Gogofrog’s 3D Web Space Service www.gogofrog.com in April 2005, traditional 2D website providers may have some real reasons to think about the potential challenges the new technology creates.

Within a month of Gogofrog’s release, more than 1000 users from around the globe built 3D Webspaces. The service is free and all users need to do is input a username & password, provide an email address, then follow a few basic site construction steps that include choosing from a set of templates to get started quickly

While the visually stunning sites appeal to those that want to display photos and art [http://www.gogofrog.com/userdata/photographer/, numerous users around the world have used the 3D technology to create “add-on” to current conventional websites.

Association such as Sydney Women Baseball League built their 3D [http://www.gogofrog.com/userdata/jordana alongside their regular [http://www.swbl.org site. Personal blogs like [www.ac91.blogspot.com and [www.starwarsgeek.4t.com with opinions on Star Wars, video games, computer and technology are enhanced by the same owner with 3D ‘ad ons’ like [http://www.gogofrog.com/userdata/adamc91.

Music sites like Pure Volume use a 3D site, [http://www.gogofrog.com/userdata/ryujikelly as their official website besides the traditional [http://www.purevolume.com/en. Similarly, young rock music band, ‘The Assassin’ also expresses their identity at [http://www.gogofrog.com/userdata/assassin where they can upload the latest images of their current shows besides the existing [http://www.assassin.cjb.cc.

Serious businesses are no exemption. The Wald Hotel built their 3D hotel [http://www.gogofrog.com/userdata/waldhotel as an addition to their current two dimensional site, [http://www.wald-hotel.com, allowing potential guests take a tour in the 3D space, previously unavailable in their 2D site. Hello Design Company takes full advantage of 3D in their arts and design services by introducing [http://www.gogofrog.com/userdata/HelloDesigns along with their current [http://www.hello-designs.com.

Up until now, traditional sites are yet to “feel the heat” from the new concept of 3D website culture. Rumours that Gogofrog plans to release a feature allowing users to automatically spawn a 2D website when they create their 3D site should give traditional 2D providers a reason to stop and think. The idea of having personalised “space” on the internet can be very compelling and 3D webspaces are rapidly gaining popularity and support from users around the globe because of their stunning visuals and simplicity to use and create.

Gogofrog Pty Ltd of Melbourne, Australia was established in April 2005 to offer easy-to-use Web services to non-technically minded people. Founded by CEO Vincent Teubler, Creative Director Lorenzo Lorefice and R&D Engineer Glenn Mitchell, Gogofrog's first offering is the 3D Web Space hosting service Gogofrog.com, as well as a company-sponsored blog called 3Dmented which aims to explore all aspects of 3D technology while providing a long list of links to 3D-related Web sites the world over. The company's mission is to attract a community of enthusiastic 3D Web Space users as well as developers who will help expand and evolve the concept into a viable three-dimensional niche on the Web.
