The field of virtual worlds / Augmented Reality / 3D / etc. is vast, interconnected and expanding. In that respect, "3D3C Worlds" is defined as a combination of four factors:
</span></font><ul style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-size:12px;line-height:150%">
<li>3D stands for the three dimensional representation of worlds as seen in Google Earth, Augmented Reality, 3D printing and the like;</li>
<li>Community as in a collection of people work, play and act together. Consider Facebook and Twitter as one example, and enhance it by the dynamics of World of Warcraft guilds;</li>
<li>Creation is the ability to create new artifacts, as seen for example in Second Life or in Open Source movement;</li>
<li>Commerce is the ability to harness these previous factors to gain monetary real value (consider Bitcoin, exchanges, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);font-size:18px;line-height:100%;font-style:normal;font-weight:lighter;letter-spacing:1px">Objective of the Book:</span>
<ul style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-size:12px;line-height:150%">
<li>Become the official “handbook” on 3D3C Virtual Worlds</li>

<li>Further advance and augment the field with “topical reviews”</li>
</ul><font color="#333333"><span style="font-size:12px;line-height:150%">
A “topical review” means a review of a corpus of knowledge of one aspect of the field. It can be a classic literature review, a more formal statistical meta-analysis or other forms suggested by authors.</span></font><br>
