A new video recently arrived on youtube featuring the voices of many of the people who work in the Digital Convergence/3d internet emerging business unit. It shows real integration between various elements of a regular workflow, including the realtime data feeds into a representation of a data centre.
It also shows some of the work done on various thought gathering tools. Its well worth a look as this is the sort of integration that should start to make sense to more of the business community.
There is of course a lot of opensim in there as its very flexible for these sort of applications.
Well done to all the team doing this and showing it at Lotusphere

Raising The Eight Bar
Hey! I have been to that Sim before! Hehe. Remember the rules for divergent and convergent thinking:
Rules of divergent thinking
* Defer Judgment
* Strive for quantity
* Seek wild ideas
* Build on other’s ideas
Rules of convergent thinking
* Be affirmative
* Be deliberate
* Check objectives
* Improve ideas
* Consider novelty
…and i’ve swearing at that sim many a times in the past couple of months: it puts a tremendous load on our development machine when loading it from an OAR file 🙂 a real stress tester 🙂 … and there’s more to come 🙂
Thanks Ian- and a huge thank you to the Lotus team in Germany, the developers in China lab and my favorite Opensim gurus- Tom Cook and Chris Yeoh. We could not have done it without them. Wish they all could have been there to see the excitement their work generated.

I can’t wait to get made redundant (aka fired) in an immersive collaborative workspace like this.
