3D Coolroom

Coolroom offers users a 3D virtual environment, styled around a loft apartment. Different areas allow users to preview additional clips and cast interviews and upload personal content including music and pictures which can then be played and displayed in the apartment. In the current version users can also personalise the apartment and there are suggestions it is moving towards social networking where users will be able to invite friends into their Coolroom.

Awards

Coolroom has been named in the "Britain's Digital Elite" awards sponsored by Real Business magazine and Microsoft. The service was highly commended in the "Taking on the Big Guys" category[3].
