Virtual worlds are something that have yet to be fully utilized. But there are already many creative uses. Some companies use virtual settings for meetings. "Parmar told CNN that he recently held a meeting with 12 technical leaders from across Europe and Asia. While that would typically involve flying everyone to a central location, he said the meeting was held using the new Sametime 3D." Unless the meeting is very important, participants can log on instead of traveling around the world.
Virtual worlds can be used so ordinary people can get in on the action. A hearing about about online virtual worlds was shown on SecondLife. People were able to see and hear what was going on, and could participate themselves.
It is up to the user how they want their world to look like. So anything is possible. Even flying pigs.
From what I have seen, virtual worlds do not look very nice. They look like a video game from 2003. This is probably because so much programming and graphic editing is required to make it look better, but I think that should be the future; a real looking virtual world.
