Imagine adding your favourite YouTube video to a 3D LCD Television in your own virtual world.

With ExitReality, you can add any YouTube video to a 3D flat panel television and put it into your very own virtual world to share with friends and add some fun to your space.

How do I add a YouTube Video into my 3D web place? Three Simple Steps:

Step One: Once you have the ExitReality browser open at your 3D webspace, this could be your website, MySpace page or any other social networking page, click on the search tab on the top right hand side of your screen in the ExitReality toolbar.

Step Two: Enter the keywords ‘youtube TV’ into the search box. The customisable TV will appear in the search results. Simply drag it into your 3D space.

Step Three: Add the YouTube URL link into the field provided and then click done.
Now you have your very own LCD TV playing your favourite YouTube video.
Use the ‘Edit’ function to move, rotate and size your LCD television to how you like in your 3D space.

ExitReality supports Adobes Interactive Flash which means you have the same interactive controls in 3D as you have in 2D such as volume adjustment for your YouTube video.
View our video to see how it is done.

Having a 3D apartment as your Facebook, Myspace, or Bebo profile is a fun and innovative new way to express yourself online. Your own virtual world!

Decorate your 3D apartment or any web page in 3D by dragging and dropping objects you find from the Web 3D Search located in the ExitReality Dashboard. There are many different objects and themes that you can find to ‘drop’ into your space.

In order to customize your 3D web space, it is important to know how to edit a 3D object that you have selected from the Search Engine.

When we say ‘edit’, we refer to the simple tasks of moving, rotating, cloning and resizing a 3D object to suit your 3D webspace. Please view the video on how to decorate your own space using the tools within the edit bar.

To claim your 3D space and avatar, you will need to Download ExitReality.

Login to your social network profile page , Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, etc, and click on the ExitReality button inside your Internet Explorer or Firefox browser. This button was inserted during the download process. Clicking on this button will convert any 2D web page into a 3D webspace.

Finding 3D content is easy once you are in 3D. The Web 3D Search function is displayed inside the ExitReality Dashboard at the top of your screen.

The Search Engine is similar to other Engines on the 2D web. The results displayed can be dragged in to your 3D space. Then decorate and enhance your space the way you want it to look.

Now invite your friends to your newly renovated apartment or virtual world!

If you have a social network page such as Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, or Friendster in 3D, you can find your friends and visit them wherever they are on the 3D Web.

If your social network page is not yet 3D, get the plug-in free at www.ExitReality.com

With ExitReality, you can see what virtual world or 3D web page your ‘Buddies’ are at and visit them by clicking on the URL in the Buddies List.

Invite your friends to become Buddies. When they confirm you as a Buddy, you will be able to locate and hang out as avatars at any 3D web page.

It is easy and it’s a great way to have fun meeting, searching and exploring websites and worlds on the 3D web.

Below you will see how simple it is to find a friend in the 3D web using the Buddy list. Move from your own 3D Facebook apartment to finding a Buddy at their 3D MySpace Apartment.

Once you have met with your friend at a 3D world or web page, use the chat function to communicate. The multiuser chat function is located in the ExitReality tool bar at the top of the screen.

Don’t forget to decorate your 3D webspace with 3D objects and themes that can be found in the web 3D search engine. The Search Engine is part of the ExitReality Dashboard.

Invite your friends to come and check out your newly ‘renovated’ apartment.

With ExitReality, the entire web is now available in 3D.

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…

Then you can decorate with all sorts of things - furniture, widgets, games, pictures - in fact, anything from a space station to falling snow. You can even take home the rideable mechanical bull from the 3D Carl’s Jr. or Hardee’s restaurant.
