Introduction
Childhood obesity has become a growing epidemic in many countries around the world. This literature review will examine some of the key research on factors contributing to childhood obesity as well as potential interventions and prevention strategies.

Overview of Web 2.0 and introduction to Virtual Worlds
So what is Web 2.0? A quick overview…
http://web2con.com – O’Reilly’s Web 2.0 conference first ran in October 2004 Theme: “The Web as Platform” "While the first wave of the Web was closely tied to the browser, the second wave extends applications across the web and enables a new generation of services and business opportunities." “ You have to remember that every revolution occurs in stages, and often isn't recognized till long after the new world is in place.” “ There might be a better name (I tried internet operating system on for size starting back in 2000), but the fact that Web 2.0 has caught on says that it's as good a term as any.” (Tim O’Reilly - http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2005/08/not_20.html) See http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html for the original
See http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.htmlfor the original Here is a depiction of Web 2.0 as a growing cultural organism with the tools, standards and techniques enabling it in blue on the top and some of the key characteristics of the organism on the bottom - simplicity (light-weight programming models) Only easy things will continue to propagate (PHP) - community-development is represented here in “software that gets better with the more people use it” and “harnessing the collective intelligence” - move to web services that are published on the web, not hardened and shrink wrapped - assembly of consumable pieces which enable architectural participation from end-users and the community - again bandwidth, graphics, and graphic app models are driving users to demand rich user experiences - drag and drop, location based visualizations, the end of command line text windows! ==================== Google, by contrast, began its life as a web application, never sold or packaged, but delivered as a service. Customer paid for the service, directly or indirectly No scheduled software releases, just continuous improvement. No licensing or sale, just usage. No porting to different platforms so that customers can run the software on their own equipment, just a massively scalable collection of commodity PCs running open source operating systems plus homegrown applications and utilities that no one outside the company ever gets to see. At bottom, Google requires a competency: database management, not a collection of software tools, it's a specialized database. Without the data, the tools are useless; without the software, the data is unmanageable. Software licensing and control over APIs--the lever of power in the previous era--is irrelevant because the software never need be distributed but only performed, and also because without the ability to collect and manage the data, the software is of little use. In fact, the value of the software is proportional to the scale and dynamism of the data it helps to manage. Much like a phone call, which happens not just on the phones at either end of the call, but on the network in between, Google happens in the space between browser and search engine and destination content server, as an enabler or middleman between the user and his or her online experience.

Virtual Worlds are an emerging opportunity for a wide range of activities, including marketing, online commerce and services. Popular non-game Virtual World platforms (such as Second Life) are expanding fast with thriving economies. We are seeing the beginnings of the exploitation of the market, with the BBC, sporting events, high-street names and web brands announcing their involvement. This continues the shift from a passive audience to an engaged, interactive population Virtual Worlds are the web, rendered in interactive 3D. They could mark the start of the next phase of web technology.

The BBC, who are frequently early adopters, announced an event in Second Life in May 2006. The streaming video from the One Big Weekend event (being held in Dundee) was shown in-world to provide people with another means of following the action. The key thing here is the party happening in the foreground. People are dancing, showing off and chatting. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4766755.stm The BBC also did a Second Life session for their Newsnight programme around January 2006. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/4583924.stm). In 2007, Newsnight caught up with some IBMers for a segment in their show http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/6241879.stm#cyber
Major League Baseball ( MLB.com ) paid the Electric Sheep Company for a virtual baseball stadium to host the Home Run Derby event. I’m not a baseball fan, but even I was hooked enough by the lively atmosphere that staying up until 2am UK time was well worth it. http://www.ericrice.com/blog/?p=45 http://eightbar.co.uk/2006/07/11/live-at-mlb-second-life-game/
Warner Bros, who promote Regina Spektor, are marketing her latest album within Second Life. They have a New York loft apartment with a tape recorder playing clips of her music, with the mood of the room changing with the music. http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release_html_b1?release_id=130654 http://blackrimglasses.com/archives/2006/05/22/second-life-meets-regina/
American Apparel (A large US clothing store) opened a store in Second Life Possibly the first example of a real brand creating a SL store More: read the story at http://news.com.com/2061-10797_3-6084908.html http://www.aimeeweber.com/Portfolio/AmericanApparel.html
Reuters have an embedded journalist (Adam Pasick) who writes articles in and about Second Life And more brands… Toyota, Adidas, Reebok, Sun, Sony, Vodafone…
IBM is already interested in virtual worlds for several reasons 1.) internal collaboration and communications 2.) external reach to our clients and their customers 3.) research. 3D Internet as a future web-like model. Driving adoption of (and creation of, if necessary) standards
IBM already runs various meetings inside SL. We can’t share confidential material using SL (since the servers are not run by IBM), but it’s a useful place to socialise and confidential matters can always be discussed over the telephone while being augmented by avatar interactions Difficulties with conference calls Uncomfortable video conferences Using an avatar gives freedom of expression, and seems to break down barriers.
GreaterIBM is an initiative to connect past and present IBMers. We’ve already been using virtual world to augment real world activities — since we can’t always travel to meet with each other, the virtual world allows us to meet in a setting that is more like real life, and collaborating and networking in these immersive environments The IBM Alumni block party (for The Greater IBM Connection, http://greateribm.com) was a great success, and Greater IBM continues to actively explore how to use virtual worlds to bring past and present employees together.
Sam Palmisano appeared in avatar form to address IBMers regarding the results of the Innovation Jam. One outcome was funding for a ‘3D Internet’ project (http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/20605.wss)
The 12 island complex ( 194 acres of land ) is IBM’s big public presence in Second Life. It has various projects within it, including… three huge meeting spaces (each capable of seating over 200 people) The House of Horizons project: This collaborative project is a Danish initiative from a number of international organisations that seek to experiment with virtual world benefits to real world activities and vice versa. Through a series of Second Life based facilities and a variety of tenants, House of Horizons explores the new opportunities that arise when normal physical factors and geography are suspended and replaced by a digital reality. House of Horizons founding partners are: Danish based Innovation Lab, IBM, and Computerworld Denmark, in association with the Danish architectural firm Arkitema. A meeting place for the IBM ‘Virtual Universe Community’, already over 1000 IBMers. ‘ SOA hub’ is the early stages of a build we plan to fully unveil in January. It is an example of how you can use the 3D, immersive worlds to simplify the complex by “showing” people these concepts and allowing them to experience them through 3D interactions that explain business concepts in a more easy to understand way. The lessons we learn in running this sort of event can be passed on to our clients too; we will apply what we are developing here from an education and training standpoint to all sorts of other areas and for our clients.
We’ve partnered with Circuit City to explore and experiment with how we can apply virtual worlds to their business — from doing business inside of virtual worlds to connecting the virtual world with the real world to create a richer, more immersive Web environment. This early build of a virtual Circuit City store is an area where we are experimenting with how to enrich a user experience by using virtual worlds to augment both the Web experience and the real world experience. Other immersive features that IBM and Circuit City are experimenting with include an interactive home theater, where customers can easily recreate their own home environment to do things like setting up a home theater — users can easily move a couch at the proper distance from where they want to put a new TV, and it automatically tells them the optimal size TV to purchase for their room dimensions, and eventually will add other features like where to place speakers for a surround sound system. As with everything in the IBM complex, we’re keen to get client and public feedback so it can improve over time.
Build for Sears (see http://www.3pointd.com/20070108/ibm-brings-sears-to-second-life-at-ces)
From July 2006, a quick prototype build by Emerging Technology Services for the Wimbledon tennis championships. It involved displaying the path of the ball (thanks to the ‘Hawkeye’ data captured on-court) as well as clothing and even flying towels.
The Australian Open project brings the Hawkeye data feed idea explored for the Wimbledon demo into a full one island (16 acre) build, with all aspects of the Oz Open from the shop to the scoreboard to the tennis court with players which move with the real data feed.
