From what I have check out, They are no different from IMVU which has millions of online users which is more exciting. I only see interiors rooms in their demo, There is nothing except a world map which link their so call Mirror World . I dont see an exteriors in the BETA I have. There is also another Singapore Company call amazing worlds , I have not got the beta as they are on a close beta only for their customers. But from what I can see they support both Real World contents better than in Twinity. Not sure of whats so interesting about this company.

The efforts are not really so inclusive and they are being driven by a small segment of the industry. The assumption seems to be that a few bigger players can define the standards that everyone else will have to adopt. @ Jon, you may be right, but I do have to somewhat agree with e.g. Corey at MultiVerse.

Which is basically the point of Mitch Kapor in this article - http://www.news.com/8301-13772_3-9873205-52.html?tag=tb — We are using surface devices with Edusim now of course … but as other more natural forms of input emerge I can see this having an impact in immersive education as well.
