As some of you may know, I have been extensively involved with the ExitReality ("The entire Web in 3D") project since 2006, initially as an investor, then as CEO.

The Exitreality platform is launching to Public Beta in the next couple of hours.

News of the launch has already started to spread... a short story on the launch in Melbourne, Australia is featured in the online edition of The Age newspaper, Internet set to get 3D makeover.

A longer, more in depth story is featured in Virtual Worlds News, ExitReality Launches to Public Beta: A Connector for the 3D Web?

The new 3D web browsing plug-in (3.5mb) can be downloaded for free from the Exitreality Home Page.

I feel privileged to have been able to help nurture and grow ExitReality to a point, that in the full passage of time it will be seen as one of the truly great, global online technologies and businesses.

The time is now appropriate however (mission accomplished) for me to devolve my front line activities and take a position on the ExitReality board of advisers as the company launches into its very exciting public beta stage.

I wish Danny and the team at Exitreality all the success that will deservedly come their way.

In addition to joining the Exitreality board of advisors... I will be focusing on my own projects, ranging from a more active role with some of the companies I have invested in over the past several years... through bringing to life ideas from my 'Idea Books' (plenty to keep me busy.)

I will expand on my own projects shortly... look for a change in the Whodeani LinkedIn profile in the coming weeks... and of course I will post updates here on Posterous.
