3D Worlds Fitness Test/Checklist

Going through some old notes I’d collected about potential ideas for exercises in 3D worlds, I came across the following checklist I’d scribbled down at some point that seemed like good things to know about when exploring a 3D digital world.

If you can think any other ‘need to know’ skills, please add them as a comment.

Can you:

  • zoom in and out;
  • tilt the view to a desired perspective;
  • rotate a view;
  • navigate to a particular location;
  • search for a particular location;
  • bookmark a particular location;
  • add an information layer in a “mirror world”, such as one of the following:
    • Google Earth;
    • NASA WorldWind;
    • Virtual Earth 3D.

When it comes to controlling 3D avatars in a digital world, can you move around as easily as you can in the real world?

Give yourself 5 points if you get the joke ;-)
