Live it up with Google’s Latest Lively Offering
In its latest move, Google launched Lively, a 3D virtual world application that can be accessed across sites that you already visit. This new application is all set to change the way communication and growth of business occurs over the Internet in the near future.
How does Lively work?
Every Google account user can have his/her own avatar, which can be used on any Lively virtual room. Lively must, however, first be downloaded by users. Also, users need to either have a Google account or a Facebook account to create Lively rooms. Users will be able to access pictures from photo sharing sites and use these to wall-paper their Lively virtual rooms.
Virtual rooms on websites
Lively works on Facebook and may even extend to MySpace. But it goes beyond social networking, with this 3D application from Google allowing users to place virtual “rooms” on websites. It also affords users the ability to decorate their fantasy worlds using images or video clippings from Picasa or any other online source.
The opportunities for communicating better and creatively seem endless. Users can invite friends and family onto the virtual reality platform and interact just like characters in a game. The more time users stay on Lively, the more money Google is likely to make. With frequent and regular web surfing, there will be more money making ad clicks that would get displayed on search results and across millions of websites.
What does this mean for businesses?
Business owners can use Lively anywhere they want on any room on the web once they have signed into their virtual account. It is almost like an active destination site – providing business users various options to browse across rooms randomly to make new contacts.
With Lively, businesses will be able to re-structure their office and meeting related facilities. Lively enables your avatar to wander about, check out available conferences and interface with others. You can organize interviews, calls, meetings and do much more in the virtual world setting.
Lively also provides room templates, which business users can use to create their own customized rooms. This enables improved business collaboration and communication, while helping business owners create their unique brand image.
What does Lively mean for users?
You can unleash your creativity by customizing your avatar’s look to suit your style. Be it eye color, hair color or skin tone, it’s all up to you. You can interact with others using the animated action options. This just shows how limitless our imagination can be while using Lively.
