Tuesday's brrr-chat

Joe's Car

Our next guest speaker comes from balmy Ontario (only -14 F). No wonder he is involved in creating more realistic V-environments so that he can move into them instead! Let's give him a warm welcome:-)

Joe Rigby is the creator of Mellanium, based on the popular MMO UNREAL 2 engine. His pitch is that if you ever dreamt that you could project yourself and your clients, builders, developers and inspirational colleagues into a replica of a “virtually perfect” construct, now you can. The key, among other things is the ability to import AUTOCAD files into the VE.

He will also demonstrate streaming from SL directly to SKYPE, a move towards blurring the ever thin line between RL and VR.
