Perhaps the most intriguing and powerful feature in recent Active Worlds history has just made its debut. Physics features are included in the latest version of the AW browser and ready for you to start using now!
To get an idea of the vast new possibilities, here are some user-created videos showcasing physics at play:
SW Chris' Nuclear Shockwave
Sirqus' Dozen ways to destroy a house!
Kenneth's Card Pyramid Blasted by Rocket
SW Chris' Virtual City Demolition
Digigurl's Lunar Bowling
Byte's Catapult
The real fun is trying it for yourself! Visit AWPhysics world to knock some stuff down or kick a ball around! Then start building your own physics-based creations.
