View22's SceneCaster was unveiled not too long ago at this year's DemoFALL conference in San Diego, and we heard precious few details except the words "3D Web community". Now, the Toronto-based company has announced SceneCaster's official release -- and it calls itself a "3D Web app" for Facebook.

Not quite as interesting as the press release makes it sound. Like any other Facebook app, users add it to their page to use it, and then invite their friends to participate. To use the app, you install an additional plugin and then can create your own 3D pictures, or mess with those of your friends. You can also whirl the camera around to look at the scenes and objects from different angles. It uses Google's 3D objects and models, and then the images you create can be embedded in Facebook.

"SceneCaster's mission is to mainstream the 3D Web by lowering the barriers to adoption for the largest possible audience," said Mark Zohar, SceneCaster founder. "We have built it from the ground up by combining the very best the Web has to offer today - search, eCommerce and Facebook - with a rich, immersive 3D experience that is accessible within a standard Web browser."
