Sony reveals Home - a 3D virtual environment
If you look at the success of Second Life, the Home might be a smart move by Sony. Yes indeed, Sony is about to offer a very similar interactive virtual environment as Second Life on the PS3. In a three dimensional world the users can explore, shop, interact, and communicate as well as create their customized Home. The virtual home also comes with neat incentives for gaming fanatics, like virtual trophy rooms where gamers can show off with their success. In addition users can also share their videos, pictures and other digital content. Based on the screenshots (see the source link), the virtual environment looks pretty good and quite a bit better than the PC alternative Second Life.
It allows PS3 users to interact, communicate, join online games, shop, share private content and even build and show off their own personal spaces to others in real time. Home will be available as a free download from the PlayStation Store and will launch directly from XMB (XrossMediaBar) on PS3. Home is a sleek, modern environment featuring spacious common areas; custom spaces dedicated to specific games; and personal apartments.
