Adobe gets animated over 3D internet

Adobe is to develop software which can create three-dimensional, animated websites.

Adobe Atmosphere is intended as a tool for web designers.

The firm says the platform will allow end-users to "walk the web".

Dotcom executive and avatar expert Bruce Damer said: "Today, browsing a site means clicking on document links and doing simple searches.

"In the near future, browsing a site will mean walking through 3D spaces and seeing animated objects."
