Now, this is really interesting. Near London a virtual reality environment that tries to recreate Oxford Street in London. If you’re not familiar with the place (like me), it’s actually London’s main shopping area, consisting of various streets – Regent, Bond, and Oxford.
The 3D virtual environment was created for the purpose if promoting online retail store. It allows users to find a store’s website by clicking on its digital representation in the Near London virtual environment.
As of this writing, there are already many established and big name companies, while others have been signing up. And this is predicted to increase as soon as Near London is released and launched. Actually, it’s not really surprising why a 3D environment such as this will come out this late. Near London has many good features one of them is its support to social networking sites. You can meet with your friends online and then discuss purchases using video chat through the 3D virtual environment.
