With support to other languages besides Chinese it could have a big market. Copying seems inevitable, but lets see what HiPiHi has to add.

A few things 1. HiPiHi is working with several party, including IBM and Linden Lab as the CEO of HiPiHi claims, on the standardization of 3D environment. 2. Linden also announced their plans to eventually to make their server available. No timeline is available however. A side note, HiPiHi announce was more about their new investor (from the Japanese NGI group). NGI group owns Mixi, the largest social network in Japan. NGI confirmed they will bring 3D environment to Mixi. The other announcement is about their international strategy, and they confirmed the initial launch would include an multilingual HiPiHi client for Chinese, English and Japanese (at least).

A standard happens because a bunch of people agree to use something, and that something is sufficiently well defined and has at least one reference implementation and at least one other interoperating implementation. A few such standards actually already exist for 3D geometry and animation formats, and also for network protocols. My guess is that they will be completely overlooked, since these "industry leaders" (whoever they will end up being) don't own them in any way. I'm curious if this will actually go anywhere, and we'll hear any actual specifics in the future. A standard doesn’t happen because a bunch of “industry leaders” (who are they?) decide on one.
