Hee hee, I'm posting this from inside a virtual meeting place run by IBM using the Web.Alive 3D virtual space system. How meta. I'm having to type the url so in case I messed it up in the thread title I'll type it again: http://www-935.ibm.com/services/us/gbs/avcIf you aren't interested in trying other 3D chat-virtual world-business conferencing systems then you should just ignore this post, but if you like checking out such things you might take a look at it. Entering this post illustrates that they have a functioning, interactive web browser displayed in 3D, and the difficulty in entering this post displayed at at angle, with the scroll bar way the heck off to the right, small and hard to user, displays one problem with the idea of having web pages displayed in 3D.

It would be interesting to see what one could do with "web pages" on prims that were actually designed for being a part of the 3D world, being useful in the 3D world, rather than just showing web pages that are meant to be seen full screen, head on, in a normal browser display.
I don't recall seeing any such things, although they could well exist in places I don't go.
Of course to be really useful the interactive web pages need to interact with other parts of the 3D world, not just interact with the web.
