The exciting promise of the 3D Web has disappointingly emerged solely as a place for stunning avatars to flirt with mutant humanoid creatures. What about 3D gaming on the web? Are we doomed to flat, simple 2D games if we want a quick, fun diversion?
PlaYce is "Making the World a Playground" by providing a 3D virtual world for games, based on the real world. PlaYce's technology reconstructs the entire world in 3D and streams it with high frame rate from within the browser, providing an immersive, "Mirror World" gaming experience without a heavy client download.
Gamers come to plaYce for synchronous social games, with high-end gameplay and graphics, easily linking to their existing social network friends and IM buddy lists. Independent game developers come to plaYce for Game-Infrastructure-as-a-Service, which enables them to design games situated anywhere in the world, while saving 50-75% of development costs and time to market.
