Ok @Jesse I changed the text to better reflect this:

You should also be aware that SceneCaster offers an embed code for every 3D scene created. So, in addition to being available on Facebook, SceneCaster 3D scenes can be embedded on virtually any web page or blog.

Hello Dan,

I've modified the article to correct the mistake. Thanks for telling me.

ExitReality is one of my favorites, as you see it's in the sidebar. I'll cover it in last part of this article.

Hi Jordi, great article, I'd like to add that Exit...

Hi Jordi, great article, I'd like to add that ExitReality can be embedded in a page too, that's just a subset of what ExitReality does.

@Anonymous
I think that installing or updating Java is not so hard at all. And think that all of us are used to update everything we have, from Firefox to our operative system updates.

Java developers try to use the last versions of Java in their projects because that way you benefit of the improvements of the Java virtual machine.

Think about it an update for your entire OS, not only for 3DXplorer, and you'll see it's worth the effort.

@Omind If Lively also slows a computer like that, then I think my theory of memory leaks is confirmed.

And yes, many of these solutions are not as immersive as traditional virtual worlds communities. But I think that their purpose is not competing with them but being complementary.

3DXplorer is one of the solutions that I reviewed that I like most.

Google Lively: I run a quad core with 2 video cards and I also found the memory build-up to be annoying. I am also dissappointed at the lack of content and avatars (will be better in the future ;-)
I, for one, don't think it will change the web. Those who think that need to look around more.

I am excited about 3DXplorer. I love the fact that it is totally cross-platform (Let's give the Mac guys a break, people) It is fairly easy to build in and you can add your own created content (In the 3DS format, will take some sizing practice) and if the make it MU, that would be great.

I have great hopes for Vivaty. I am sad that it seems a little processor heavy, was pulling almost 400 megs out of IE6 in Facebook. With the edition of self-created content, this could be awesome.

The difference with these new ideas is that they are not immersive like AW, SL, or even ExitReality. Rather they are an embedded web experience, I don't think they will replace or even augment the immersive worlds.

Just my 2 cents :-)

While it's true that 3Dxplorer uses Java, you require the correct version of the Java Runtime Engine in order to use 3DXplorer without an additional download requirement. My brand new Macbook Air didn't have Java version 1.6 which 3Dxplorer requires and I was sent to the Java site to download this updated version. This was a terrible and confusing process and much worse than downloading an Active X plug-in. I don't know what percentage of users have Java 1.6 pre-installed but I assume it's not even close to 70%. If the rest had to experience what I experienced in trying to download Java, they would run away screaming.
