ExitReality Public Beta has now been officially launched to the world.

The entire internet is now available in 3D. Over 40 billion web pages are now virtual worlds created instantly and ready to be explored.

ExitReality has unveiled its 3D search engine with the biggest repository of open source 3D worlds and 3D objects on the Internet. Search for 3D content in the ExitReality Dashboard when you are in 3D or at www.exitreality.com

It’s free and easy-to-use. ExitReality creates an instant 3D environment from any web page effectively 3D-enabling every website and social network profile. And this new universe of inter-connected worlds expands even beyond 2D to include thousands of innovative 3D places and games created by 3D developers over the past decade with more being added everyday.

Founder and CEO Danny Stefanic launched ExitReality Public Beta at Federation Square in Melbourne Australia.

With ExitReality, users can now view their Social Network Pages such as Facebook and MySpace as a 3D apartment and further enhance their webspace with 3D objects and themes from the ExitReality Search Engine. Users can invite friends to view their 3D page and chat in real time using a 3D character or avatar – a body that represents you in 3D.

YouTube videos can now be viewed as a 3D cinema. Watch the same YouTube video with others. Now you can chat and comment as avatars about the video being played right in front you. Flickr albums and search results can be viewed as an online gallery.

Furthermore, users can explore virtual worlds created by developers found in the ExitReality Search Engine.

ExitReality is an opportunity for any Internet user to connect with friends, meet new people with the same interests, chat to anyone with 3D avatar multiuser chat , create and decorate a virtual home.

Compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox Internet browser, it’s free and easy to get started. Download and install the ExitReality plugin after a quick 4MB download, and you’re ready to explore a whole new Internet world.

Imagine this … you are exploring the new 3D Internet with ExitReality and you chance across the best car - a 3D Ferrari F360. You want to show it to a friend you know will love it. Instead of inviting them to that virtual place to see it, you can add it to your ‘My Stuff’ in ExitReality then give it to them as a gift.

Armed with their new 3D Ferrari, your friend can then decorate their own profile apartment with their new Ferrari, and even pass it on to other friends.

Next time you see something cool in ExitReality, click on ‘pick up’ in ‘My Stuff’ then click on the object you want to add to your My Stuff. Then click ’send’ to send it to one of your ‘Buddies’.

You can also add your objects in ‘My Stuff’ to your own space (Your Web page or social network converted to 3D instantly with ExitReality)

Welcome to the ExitReality plaza. On today’s journey into the 3D Internet we will begin at the new plaza at the heart of ExitReality (Official opening today!). Think of it as a launching pad for your 3D adventures.

As we walk through the plaza you’ll see all the different attractions. On the right, an arcade full of cool games to play - Try your avatar’s hand at the street-fighting face-off or Old School Beat Down. On the left we’re passing the Rip Lounge, where you can meet and chat to people. Of course, there’s always more virtual burgers to consume - The Carl’s Jr./Hardees restaurant is ahead. Enter to climb on board the mechanical bull.

Here we finish our official tour of the plaza - Feel free (and it is free, totally free) to stay and chat to other users, or you could go to your own apartment or place (Yes you do already have one - it’s a decorated 3D version of your social network profile, or Website page) where you can add a whole new look … or visit any of the thousands of 3D worlds.

Have fun storming the castle…

The case for advertising online is already a compelling one. And an increasing number of companies don’t need convincing — The Internet ad market last year grew 26%, surpassing both radio and cable TV, to reach $21.2 billion, according to the annual online ad spending report from IAB and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

This week MTV showed combining their television show The Hills with an online 3D virtual world and a website, meaning users were far more engaged. Not only that, but their watchers who also visited the website and the virtual world had much more positive things to say about The Hills major sponsor Pepsi, according to the report. (See Adweek article ). Until now promotion across several platforms with digital media was suspected to work, but never proved.

Because ExitReality enables instant representation of every single social network page as an inhabitable 3D environment, when it launches soon ExitReality will instantly be the world’s largest 3D virtual world with more than 300 million 3D places. For advertisers, this represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to promote their brands through the birth of a new medium.

Once launched, advertisers, publishers and users will be able to build, manage and freely participate in the growth of this medium. Pre-launch, we are offering select partners the opportunity to gain early access to our technology and the ability to deeply integrate within the platform itself.

ExitReality not only offers cross-platform promotion opportunities, but easy access to 3D advertising — Virtual goods have been built by ExitReality that support web ad feeds such as standard banner ad formats. These ad objects can be used by users to decorate their 3D page. A partner can have full control over which ads are displayed on these goods for visitors of their site’s domain. These ads are clickable just like normal web banner ads, so partners can make money through normal web advertising services.

From there the opportunities are endless: we are currently creating branded avatars, objects, decorations, buildings and places for our pre-launch partners.
With ‘giveaways’, businesses can spread their brand message. It’s all set up for viral distribution. A user takes a cool 3D object from a business space, puts it in their own 3D space then their friends and other visitors can take the object for their own page, and because ExitReality extends over all social networks, the object has the potential to appear everywhere. These objects can engage the user in many interactive ways, and can also link to a 2D webpage or 3D destination. The image right shows how giveaways work:

Examples

• A musician in MySpace Music has a live performance space to interact with fans and organize virtual concerts, show music videos on a virtual television and give away songs in a 3D widget.
• A car company on Facebook has a 3D racetrack and give away a 3D car that users can make their color of choice then drive around in 3D. The car has a link back to the company’s website.
• A fashion designer with a 3D catwalk can host their own fashion shows and give away avatars wearing virtual versions of their own designs.
• A film or TV company’s 3D space is a cinema showing short films, trailers or television shows. They give away virtual popcorn to their moviegoers or a 3D plasma flat-screen television showing their latest offerings.

Since the launch last week of our Beta sign up program and being featured in TechCrunch (ExitReality Turns Social Network Profiles Into 3D Spaces) we have had many requests for further information on how the platform works with users’ social network profiles and more importantly, what people can do within their 3D space.

ExitReality instantly gives every social network user their own 3D place that features all of their current content, automatically creating more than 200 million 3D virtual worlds.

Free, as well as easy to use and decorate, users can meet and chat to friends in their own or other people’s 3D spaces.

Anyone can quickly enhance a 3D place without the need for complicated 3D software. And just like everyone’s profile in 2D, users’ 3D spaces are unique through a combination of their own content (videos, photos, music and wall posts amongst other things) and ExitReality’s unique decorating feature.

Within ExitReality you can choose the look and feel of your space and then decorate it with anything from standard household objects and furniture through to objects including drink vending machines, exotic cars, 80’s style arcade games and snow globes. ExitReality users can choose from a ‘whole world’ of decorations.

The image below shows a before and after view of how a typical social network profile, in this case a Bebo profile, looks using the platform.

In the above example you can see where elements of the user’s profile, like photos and background images, are imported into the 3D environment.

Here the profile owner can then move, enhance, copy or change the various objects included within the room template… or choose a new look entirely.

ExitReality works with Facebook, Bebo, Hi5, MySpace, Orkut and Friendster.

If you have any suggestions for other social networks you would like to see this platform work on, please let us know through the comments below.

What if there was a way to view your Social Network profile, as an immersive, real time 3D environment…?

What if you were able to chat with all of your friends on your or anyone’s profile…?

What if there was a way to interact with all your favorite content including photos, video and audio and share those experiences with your friends…?

What if you could find what you were looking for without searching…?
ExitReality is a browser add-on for Internet Explorer and Firefox that dynamically imports all your social network profile content into a custom 3D place, including video, photos, music, comments and friends.

With ExitReality you can…

- View every Social Network profile, as an immersive, real time 3D environment.

- Interact with all your favorite content (including photos, video and audio) and share those experiences with your friends.

- Chat with all of your friends on your or any of your friends profiles…?

ExitReality works with all major social network sites including Facebook, Bebo, Hi5, MySpace and Friendster, be it to simply visit your own profile in 3D and have one or more of your friends over for a chat or visit a friend’s profile on a rival social network site and watch a video with them.

Check out the following video to see what ExitReality can do.

The video example provided shows ExitReality’s ability to enhance a typical Myspace page’s individual elements on the fly such as comments boards, profile, photo galleries and video.

Most compellingly, visitors to these enhanced pages can see, interact, chat with other people in real time using the ExitReality plug-in.
