    Hipihi.com - SecondLife comes to China

    China contains over a billion people, an increasingly web-oriented culture, and its tech leaders recognize the future of the 3D internet. It’s no wonder that Hipihi is set to explode.

    The website borrows the concept of user-created digital worlds from SecondLife, and, while aesthetically it is similar to SecondLife (with some clear Asian influences); users can fly, build avatars and infrastructure, and fully interact. The site is also attempting to provide a framework for the “mainstreaming of virtual worlds”; TechCrunch reports that the site is working with Intel and IBM to achieve these goals.

    Hipihi.com In their own words

    “HiPiHi World is a 3D digital world as rich and complex as the real world, and is created, inhabited and owned by its residents.”

    Why Hipihi.com might be a killer

    With internet growth exponentially increasing in China, any popular web concept can be a success. The digital world phenomenon has already proven a success in other countries, and a purely Chinese version- created, designed, and inhabited- will undoubtedly appeal to the Chinese internet community. Beyond that, the website has the idea of creating a web standard, and by working with tech giants, has the potential to make a name for itself in the 3D internet sphere.

    Some questions about Hipihi.com

    Can politics intervene? If the site does take off, could there be restrictions on building or social interactions?
