<P>Melbourne-based software developer ExitReality has created software that can
be quickly downloaded to computers and that converts standard two-dimensional
web pages into virtual rooms. </P>
<P>Websites such as YouTube are transformed into movie theatres while social
networking pages like MySpace are turned into virtual lounge rooms. </P>
<P>The software also enables people to see other web page visitors as avatars
and interact with them, moving the Second Life model from the walled garden of
the game to the entire web.</P>
