English term or phrase: Holy Grail of 3D Virtual Worlds
Right now you can get on the ground floor and buy your own cloud island for as little as $15 a month, and no set up fee. A virtual market place for custom content is coming soon. For more info read Wagner James Au’s interview with Cloud Party’s CEO Sam Thompson.

Here is why this is interesting, here is why this might be successful: For years “experts” have been saying that the main reason why 3D Virtual Worlds have not been successful is because having to load a client or even a browser add-on cuts the potential audience significantly. 90% of the people who want to check out Second Life decline to download the client.

This, say the experts, is why 2D Virtual Worlds have such a huge advantage (and huge audience) over 3D. Now for the first time, we have a 3D world with no client or add-on to download, which still retains “user created content”, like all the most successful virtual worlds do. This has been the ***Holy Grail*** of 3D Virtual Worlds, and it unfortunately comes at a time when interest in virtual worlds (both 2D and 3D) is in decline.

・holy grail of marketing (マーケティングの聖杯{せいはい})
・The Holy Grail is a sacred object figuring in literature and certain Christian traditions, most often identified with the dish, plate, or cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper and said to possess miraculous powers. The connection of Joseph of Arimathea with the Grail legend dates from Robert de Boron's Joseph d'Arimathie (late 12th century) in which Joseph receives the Grail from an apparition of Jesus and sends it with his followers to Great Britain; building upon this theme, later writers recounted how Joseph used the Grail to catch Christ's blood while interring him and that in Britain he founded a line of guardians to keep it safe. The quest for the Holy Grail makes up an important segment of the Arthurian cycle, appearing first in works by Chrétien de Troyes. The legend may combine Christian lore with a Celtic myth of a cauldron endowed with special powers.

Example sentence(s):
  • 手にした者の願いをなんでも叶えるという万能の願望機、"聖杯"。ただし、この聖杯を手にすることができるのは、ひとりだけなのだ。聖杯戦争とは、この聖杯を求める者たちが、最後のひ�
  • メタバース (Metaverse)とは、コンピューターによって生み出されてインターネット上に存在する仮想世界のことである。CGの技術によって3次元の立体空間として表現されるものが多い。
