Search giant’s virtual world project, which launched over the summer but never really got off the ground, will shut down at year’s end.

I think the whole concept of immersive virtual words with current generation input and display technology is horribly wrong.

No one said simulating the virtual world makes anything easier, more fun, or more interesting in my book.

No matter how much I love it conceptually, until I can jack directly into my Ono-Sendai it’s not going to happen.
