Approximately 24 engineers in Oulu using open-source operating system MeeGo that was launched in February by Intel and Nokia will develop this software. Both companies were to imagine the 3D virtual reality software will run on various mobile devices, including smartphones, and tablets.
"3D virtual world has the potential to revolutionize the mobile user experience," said Mika Setala, Motorola Director of Strategic Alliances and Partnerships, as reported by PC Advisor.
One of the earliest practical applications for the software will develop a virtual control panel for mobile devices to regulate the heating and lighting at home.
In addition, in the future will create social networking applications in a virtual world for mobile devices coupled with GPS and other location information, which is predicted to be a killer app or at least very successful.
Martin Curley, director of Intel Labs in Europe, said the focus of the research center would develop open source software that is supported by Intel chips. He also did not rule out that the software could present to the new Nokia devices on the Intel chip architecture of the future.
