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
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 otherβs 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 π a real stress tester π … and there’s more to come π
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.
