Its because we really want this.

Yet we focus on simulating this.

While we dream of navigating this.

Next Generation Virtual Worlds need to... 1. Exist on the Web (and mobile devices) 2. Integrate with Web-based applications 3. Engage and deeply fascinate people

1. Be part of with Web (including mobile)2. Integrate the Web-based applications

1. Be part ofand deeply fascinate people 3. Engage the Web (including mobile)

The familiar is safe, but far from fascinating.

Yet, there is value in recreating some of the familiar.It grounds us and gives us cultural touchstones.ives us Its

The trick is to balance the fascinating with the familiar.

In our Dreams, we often find a deeply engaging balancebetween the Fascinating and the Familiar.

So lets Build Dreams.
