My Way News - Google ventures into virtual reality with 'Lively'
AP reports: "Google debuted a free service Tuesday in which three-dimensional software enables people to congregate in fantasy rooms and other computer-manufactured versions of real life. The service, called 'Lively,' represents Google's answer to an already well-established site, 'Second Life,' where people deploy animated alter egos known as avatars to navigate virtual reality."

Comment: I found it really interesting that within this virtual reality you can setup TV's showing YouTube videos, so your avatar can hang out with others in a fake environment while watching videos of the real world. And since Google is global, anyone can join the virtual space, even if they are on the other side of the world.
