Serious Virtual Worlds Update
With so much buzz these days about virtual worlds, I thought you might be interested in our fast approaching events and activities.
Serious Virtual Worlds Conference, 13-14 September, Coventry, UK
We are producing Europes first Serious Virtual World conference with the Serious Games Institute (SGI) in Coventry (1 hour north of London).
We are all set for an outstanding conference with a great line up of demonstrations, discussions and examples of virtual world applications across corporate, emergency response, medical, education and community sectors. I will be delivering a talk on The Virtual World Ecosystem, describing how virtual worlds are creating the need for a new industry of creative and technical people to support applications using them. More information and booking here: http://www.seriousvirtualworlds.net (ask for a multiple booking discount if bringing colleagues). A few sponsorship packages are still available.
I am very excited that we will be showcasing two projects at the conference we are leading for the Serious Games Institute:
The SGI is one of our first UK customers for the Forterra Systems OLIVE virtual world platform which has just been installed there. A 3D model of the SGI created in 3D Studio Max has been imported to provide a collaborative virtual space and a springboard for research projects, and we have created a demonstrator of indoor location based content on next gen mobiles with partners Giunti Labs which will serve as the foundation for mixed reality gaming and services research at the SGI.
The conference will be streamed live (including into Second Life) by partners Datmedia (check back here for the links on the day of the conference).
Virtual Worlds Forum 23-25 October, London
I am helping design and facilitate the Enterprise Virtual Worlds Workshop on the 23rd
Forterra Systems CEO Robert Gehorsam will be presenting at the conference as will a range of other speakers covering various aspects of virtual worlds from marketing to legal and consumer issues. We recommend you join us there! Info and booking at: http://www.virtualworldsforum.com We will be getting a discount code for the workshop. Let me know if interested.
