favored Gamma for the company produced contract projects for Disney and others. While AlphaWorld was developing a strong cult following due in large part to Britvich's open philosophy of favoring user-built content, Worlds, Inc. Britvich was eventually joined by several other developers, and the renamed AlphaWorld continued to develop as a skunk works project at Worlds Inc, internally competing with a similar project known internally as Gamma and publicly as Worlds Chat. In February 1995, KAW spun off their 3D Web division to form the company Worlds Inc. servers as an after hours project until Britvich left the company to join Knowledge Adventure Worlds (KAW) in the fall of that year. WebWorld operated on the Peregrine Systems Inc. In the summer of 1994, Ron Britvich created WebWorld, the first 2.5D world where tens of thousands could chat, build and travel. There are also custom design services for 3D art available, especially avatars. There is also plenty of free exchange of 3D content. The necessity for 3D art within Active Worlds to enrich one's world has led to the development of a market place for 3D models, textures, avatars (and associated animation sequences), and more.
Instead of creating a website, the user could construct an office, building, or area in which to display products or information. The program's original goal was to be the 3D-equivalent of a 2D web browser (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox). Corporate and educational clients of Active Worlds can make use of the interaction, communication, and media to provide functional environments suited for their objectives. This integrated software can allow users to connect, explore, and gain a more in depth understanding of AW.
The browser has web browsing capabilities, voice chat, and basic instant messaging. AW allows users to own worlds and universes, and develop 3D content. Users can chat with one another or build structures and areas from a selection of objects. Users assign themselves a name, log into the Active Worlds universe, and explore 3D virtual worlds and environments that other users have built.
