VRML Houses
The store builder components that
make up these models were created
using the scalable "lighting
to texture" method that was first
used on the GAP virtual store.
The idea of the virtual mall is a
sensitive issue in the Web3D community.
Some factions view v-malls as an important
step to gain buy-in from the retail
community and thus fund the development
of the technology; others see v-malls
as complicating a process that the
e-commerce community has spent so
much time simplifying.
I'm not going to weigh in with an
official opinion, except to say that
I don't even like shopping at real
malls. Like most new ideas, you never
know how good they are until you give
them a try.
