CNBC Europe World Business Video Segment on Enterprise Virtual Worlds Tonight!
We did an interview with CNBC Europe at the Serious Games Institute as well as in world using Forterra Systems OLIVE where we created photo realistic avatars of journalist Joanna Harrison and myself and gave her a tour in-world. She interviewed Claus Nehmzow and Serious Games Institute Director David Wortley as well, let's see what made the final cut!
Here are the details:
The segment is part of the World Business programme which is broadcast three times over the weekend at the following central European Times (one hour earlier if you are in London)
CNBC World Business 28 March: Friday 20:30 (CET) Saturday 22:30 (CET) Sunday 22:30 (CET)
After airing on CNBC, the show is then syndicated to Sky, TV New Zealand, Euronews, PBS-TV in the US and 17 other national broadcasters around the world. We don't have advance notice of when these stations plan to air the show but it will be within 7 days of premiering on CNBC.
Special thanks go out to the Forterra team whose virtual actors for the role playing scenarios shown were (are) great and for creating the photo realistic avatars so fast. Thanks also to Now Communications for helping faciliate the video shoot and to Alex Jevremovic for capturing additional video of us in world.
