Colliding worlds or technology convergence?

What typically appeared as opposed and radically different markets not even 5 years ago, now appear to be coming closer and closer together.
 
Take a look at the following companies.  You have companies building 3D communities like SecondLife with their fashion shows, industrial 3D data processing companies like AG3D, shopping experience companies like MVM (leader), apparel CAD companies like Optitex offering 3D runways, and gaming companies educating users on real apparel and footwear products like this basketball video game.  All companies operating in different markets.  All featuring Virtual Try-on of apparel on a virtual model.
 
Is this the start of a technology convergence towards 3D apparel?
