Here's the browser you need to travel the 'Web-of-Worlds' created by Active Worlds' VRML software, including the home world, AlphaWorld. To put Active Worlds Browser to use, you register for an immigration number at AlphaWorld which then gives access to dozens of other worlds. Each world is a place that you inhabit along with other users who are logged in to that world at the same time as you are. You can communicate with other users, and you can see their avatars as they move about the landscape. Some Active Worlds let you build, and whatever you build is visible to all others who visit that site, making the 'world' a shared experience among many users. The browser expects to link to Microsoft Internet Express 3.x for online usage.
