Slides from my talk on Collaboration and Virtual Worlds
I presented an overview at the Serious Games Institute this week of the key drivers which I believe are fueling the renewed interest in collaboration tools and how virtual worlds provide a unique and powerful capability to provide a sense of copresence and better collaborative media sharing.
Here are the slides from my talk. I wished I had remembered to record it! Lots of good questions arose.

A minute on Enterprise Virtual Worlds
Nigel Paine (his blog and Twitter feed) and I were discussing how easy it has become to share knowledge in real time across the world using mobile social media tools... and he suggested we create a minute on virtual worlds which we did! He uploaded it via iPhone to an audio service and was then able to tweet it to his posse. I like this tool - it even geotagged our location automatically. Cool! Hopefully the audio plays on most phones too.

Serious Vitual Worlds Conference Video Archive Up
You can view the video and slide archive of the full conference (and the last two years) here (note you need latest java and win media plugins for Firefox, easier to use IE. Quicktime video is not live yet.
The abstracts and speaker bios are on the site as well as posted previously here.
It was a great day, lots of real world examples were shared across sectors.
I managed the technical aspects of streaming live into Forterra Systems OLIVE to try and help it be a more engaging experience with Paul Turner who did a great job facilitating. It worked really well but next year we will have to find a more distributed video streaming service for our overseas participants.
I gave a brief talk on Ambient work in progress to solve training scalability opportunities and new applications with artificial intelligence integration and better emotional display capabilities and interfaces (below).
