Second Life to add Firefox browsing to VR worlds

We hear a lot about 3D worlds striving for realism, but the virtual world Second Life is adding an unexpected everyday activity, according to Clickable Culture: the ability to display Mozilla Firefox on the surface of 3D objects, and surf the web using the embedded browser display.

The article says the new version of Second Life will bring it up to speed with the Croquet project, and the addition of Firefox browsing will "radically expand the creative options currently available to users."

Slashdot has picked up the story and has lots of interesting reaction.
