Activeworlds, Inc., a leading provider of virtual world technology on the Internet, has announced the availability of the “Active Worlds 3D Avatar and World Explorer” application, built on Facebook Platform.

This enables companies and developers to build applications for the Facebook website, bringing the online 3D experience to an entirely new level of accessibility.

“I saw a huge opportunity to bridge the social aspects of Facebook with the real- time interactivity and building components of the Active Worlds platform. For the first time, millions of Facebook users that install the application can interact and chat with each other, explore sweeping 3D landscapes and environments, and build their own virtual structures for others to enjoy,” said Robert Frederick, the developer of the Active Worlds Facebook application.
