YooWalk.com - Walk the Web in 3D

Yoowalk is the latest incarnation of virtual reality on the web. Made in France, Yoowalk takes a clever spin on virtual life by making the entire worldwide web its playground.

The goal of the recently cash infused startup is to make a 3D web made up of villages, websites, and points of interest. Essentially, they're changing the way we navigate the web. Instead of the static, passive surfing, we're used to Yoowalk encourages users to interact while browsing. So how does it work? You create a profile and avatar with which to walk the web. Then you can start surfing. What you'll see is a 3D village as a representation of the web. Buildings represent actual sites and are referred to as "walksites". You can explore on your own, or follow the crowd. There's a Yoowalk messenger to chat with other Yoowalk citizens. You can even make a 3D version of your own website or create a personal 3D room. It's all free and there's nothing to download.
