  Microsoft Chief Researcher Prefers Mirror Worlds to Virtual Worlds

  Anbei ein Auszug eines Artikels, in dem Craig Mundie (Chief Research and Strategy Officer for Microsoft) zitiert wird.
  
  "Today there's the physical world we all live in, and then there's people experimenting with virtual reality type things like Second Life and other stuff. I personally don't think that that kind of things is going to get huge traction. What I do think is the combination of sophisticated displays and direct manipulation and the ability to have the real world presented in a 3D environment as a navigation metaphor, such a you can move freely between things that you would do if you were in the physical world and doing some of the same things, whether it's going shopping, meeting friends, or whatever. You're doing it within a 3D virtual world, but that world is just a model of the actual world. That's going to be quite interesting."
