Prior to AW3 there was also no light control whatsoever within AW directly (only per-object surface reflectivity could be changed). Until AW3 (released in April, 2001), AW had little object manipulation abilities: keyboard used for up/down/left/right/back/foward movement (x-/z-axis movement) and y-axis rotation, but a complicated, crude "scripting" language for changing textures, overall object color (by use of textures on non- texture mapped objects), movement animation, and attaching sounds (WAVs/MIDIs) to objects (activated by either clicking-"activating"-or "bumping" into them), still exists. Overhyped buzzwords aside, AW is basically a 3D multiuser level editor.ĪW allows one to "build" with (manipulate) premade 3D objects/models that are made outside of AW. Added subsection titles to What could AW be?.Ħ/27/4: Tweaked object properties dialog box prototype font with 8-point Tahoma so it looks tighter.Ħ/18/4: Renamed, edited table of, and added an image to Curving Roads tip.Ĥ/26/3: Fixed holodeck image, added Technical Manual link to What could AW be?, and updated icons.Īctive Worlds (AW) is an immersive, three-dimensional (3D), on-line, interactive, multi-user, real-time, building/chatting, virtual reality (VR) environment.
