Education Days - Orange Island

It was great to chat with Nick from Extralab at the Orange Island Education Days. This event was simultaneously broadcast through Mogulus as a live video stream allowing for a greater audience, and it has now been broken up into easier to consume segments. Here is the link to the broadcasts: Educational Days - Day 2

The Great 2020 Debate

It was an honor to be on panelist for the Great 2020 Debate - an event organized and hosted by Bruce Joy (CEO Vastpark) - as part of the Federal Consortium for Virtual Worlds (FCVW), in Washington 2009. The discussion was thoughtful and very insightful. The panel were:

  • Serge Soudoplatoff, founder of Almatropie
  • John Hurliman from Intel
  • Greg More, Director of OOM Creative
  • Gary Wisniewski, cofounder, Treet.tv and SLCN

The videostream has been placed onto vimeo at: http://vimeo.com/4369279

Virtual Worlds Down Under

Recently I presented as part of the Virtual Worlds Down Under event hosted by Vastpark. This was a great chance to present our work with architecture & design students at RMIT using virtual environments within design contexts. All presenters had the same avatar, the voice was skype, and a company in NYC filmed the event.

Orange Island Architects

Yesterday I was part of an invited panel discussing the role of architecture within Second Life. This discussion was held on Orange’s Second Life Island and was on the third day of events dedicated to thinking about architecture and design in virtual worlds. I was in Antwerp at the time, sitting in a hotel lobby, and given the distractions of the hotel bar in the background the discussion was really interesting, assisted by the 4 layers of skype, Secondlife voice and chat.
