The Metaverse & Collaboration
It's a been a busy week having started my PhD at the SMARTlab Digital Media Institute in London with my first residential week there. I'll be researching what makes collaboration in virtual worlds and the Metaverse effective and will be sharing that research here.
I've been doing several presentations this month about components of the Metaverse, where they are predicted to go and become interoperable with examples of how we're active in each of the four usage areas described in the Metaverse Roadmap - Mobile augmented reality, lifelogging, mirror worlds and virtual worlds.
I'm glad to see the Metaverse Roadmap project continue with a summit last week and good coverage on Cisco's Virtual World blog here. The Game Developers Conference has been going on this week too and I've found a little coverage so far on the virtual world summit there although our developers and colleagues are there so we can't wait fo the debriefing. You can start with Mark Oehlert's blog here.
I'm glad to have met David Dunkley Gyimah at SMARTlab who is researching video journalism. He's excited about video journalism in the Forterra OLIVE virtual world platform and looking at using it for a journalist training platform. Cool! He blogs here. Check it out!
