Free Live Broadcast Today - Serious Virtual World Conference

We're broadcasting the Serious Virtual Worlds Conference Live today and tomorrow. You can access live or archive (next week) here.

We're also experimenting with combining the Intronetworks social networking community with Second Life to give Virtual World participants the ability to connect with others with similar interests. You can give it a go by registering on http://sgi.intronetworks.com and following further instructions there.

New Forterra/IBM video of Collaboration - Sametime Integration

Check out this slick new video from IBM/Forterra showing off the integration of IBM Lotus Sametime (a unified communications platform) with the Forterra OLIVE enterprise virtual world platform. The scenario is instant collaboration which starts out with Instant Messaging then the participants agree to meet in-world to see a 3d model, discuss and look at design documents, then call in another expert to join them in-world to quickly solve their problem.

This is the type of interoperability critical to enterprise virtual world applications - integrating with existing systems.
