Our platform is able to handle over 1000 simultaneously connected users, and it is really relevant for our customers and visitors. From these 1000 users, only about 200-300 are actively interacting among each others, most of the audience is normally passive!.

I do think that realistic and accurate models and animations could be added to the wish list. Animations are very informative. Immersivity is the key; the more immersive the better.

The benefit of a virtual environment is the interaction with other people. You can interact with 30,40 people, even 100 will stretch it. 1,000 or 10,000 is a broadcasting event. Unless you break it down again into 30-40 smaller groups. I agree with everything except the need for 1,000 or 10,000 concurrent users, in one shared space.

Our first product http://www.assemblive.com offers many of the features you ask for. Our middle term strategy is to open progressively Assemblive to third party developpers using simple standard web API for customization and 3D content uploading. Virtual Worlds service companies can already contact us to work hand in hand to provide a customized solution for them. Right now Assemblive already offers a pretty good online event environment for the rest of us. I disagree with you one one point though: 3D plugin install. It's not a deal breaker (think about Disney's Fusion Fall or Habbo Hotel), they both need a plugin and yet have millions of users. Flash is not ready yet for really intensive 3D, and java web plugin is so badly maintained by Sun. Native browser based 3D is the future, in the meantime installing a 3Mo plugin without a restart doesn't seem that hard for us. Your vision is more or less what we are doing at A World For Us.

Maybe a little work on client ergonomic can help tho :) Go, yes, and fast if possible ! You definitely right, plug-in + concurrency is really what i need so damn hard !!
