Idea: I've used program like there and second life on the web.
But now I'm interested on giving an idea that will beat all the online worlds.
The two programs are based in a 3d online and chat virtual world.
They are both built for PCs but I was thinking of a virtual world built into a modem that uses a wireless internet card or internet plug to connect to a vast 3d internet server and into a TV, that way all the virtual information uses the modem of 400 giga bits to translate the virtual information from the server. If there was a 3d server that has a completely 3d solar system from the largest planet to smallest flower it would be a project of realism of a 3d virtual world. With a name like Earth 2. The 3d virtual world could have hills and mountains of terrain for each and every planet and asteroid and comet.
The 3d world could start off with a few cities and towns too. With highres or medres textures, with 3d bump maps and terrain with highres and medres textures with 3d hight maps and texture bump maps. Such as sharp points as grass of green polygons.
The creation process could be real 3d growing trees seed to full grown trees and plants. Like 3d tree generators that generate trunks, branches, twigs and leaves. But the tree actually grows in real time 3d (or 4d)
as the terrain is a 3d surface with solid 3d particles to make up the objects instead of the terrain to be hollow, the terrain should be hollow in certain areas such as caves. Water is 3d liquid transparent solid particles with the particles all grouped to the 3d liquid water path gives the impression particles aren't there also giving a skin. Splashes make the particles flick into the air to give a splash effects along with waves. Waves are made when the particles as a skin wave and splash the skin effect stops the water looking bity as particles are. Lava, liquid mud & sand and other or customized liquids have simular physics.
Lava produces fire and melts things by deleting the polygons on touch.
The system created allows actors and other things to drown in water and metal to rust.
Each object has a polygon texture options panel and properties such as durability to the polygon joints. If the modem has a microphone built-in or wireless fitted then people can talk into it, either by speech or the modem converts it to text.
When talking in text the actor animates and takes a 3d pocket pc/palm os out and uses a touch screen pen from out of the same pocket. This animation should only work when the person using the program slides out the chat panel and begins to type or chat by clicking on the microphone button. The chat panel could slide from the right side. With chat history to see would others say. With a microphone volume slider.

It will interesting to see how close the new Will Wright game "Spore" comes to your idea.
