33. The Three Questions 1 Each guest was asked three questions Note their responses and your responses Listen for the common themes Can you begin to see a new perspective? Can you begin to “see the elephant”?

34. The Three Questions 2 By your standards of success , what do successful applications of 3D Web have in common? What does the fourth dimension of virtual reality mean to you, if anything? What examples are you familiar with that illustrate your points?

35. Kourosh Social networking sites are better referred to as “cities.” Virtual spaces are locations in abstract space where people meet. One can occupy these cities in a much more fluctuating manner than with real life cities. These cities evolve and coalesce at a much faster pace than real life.

36. Nathaniel Successful applications exploit the shortcomings as well as the possibilities of VR. They use both as an opportunity. Multi-dimensions use network, movement, time and space to become more than what they are. They exceed their own potential.

37. Steve Successful 3D Web applications are cool. Multi dimensions are like the H.G. Wells book about time travel that was made into a movie.
