Slides from Virtual Worlds Presentation at NP

These are the slides from the the presentation at NP.

A quick survey of trends and what's happening around the world:

A few guiding ideas:

-Virtual Worlds: A tool or a world

- Closed Virtual Worlds versus the Immersive Web

-People will share experiences for others to re-live instead of just telling or showing them in the future.

- Its happening in China, Singapore, Korea (not really...), Australia, Germany... and the list goes on... 

OTHER THOUGHTS:

I'm still trying to figure out what is the REAL application of virtual worlds:

- The influence of games on the visuals and the uses of VWs

- The relationships between virtual reality and virtual worlds. ("Mathematical Wonderland" through the screen. hence the name of this blog) 

- The original meanings of virtual reality and what was intended or dreamed: Some of this will come to pass, others will not, and the real thing probably hasn't been thought of yet. 

- The other associated technologies required to be converged for all this to happen easily. 

lots more...
