Torbjoern's comments are right on target as always, but still I think
that there might be new ways to bring traditional 2D media into the 3D
realm and improve it in the process. Text will always be easier to read
in it's traditional 2D form, but the traditional linear format of a book
can be enhanced by HTML for instance. I've seen some work at The Media
Lab on organizing textural information in a 3D space to make the
relationships between passages more obvious. Someone on the list is
working on something similar (I don't have the archives handy or I'd look
it up). There has also been research on mapping 2D movies into 3D cubes
which show the change in frames over time.
What does this have to do with Art? (someone probably said the same
thing about interactive 3D computer graphics)
What does it have to do with Virtual Worlds (We have to figure out
something to do with them...)
