Thanks so much for this summary, Dusan. Sounds like great things are on the horizon. Is there a video somewhere of Tom’s presentation?

These folks really need to think about a browser-based viewer using Google’s O3D…unless that’s already under a tarp someplace on Battery Street. Or in a contractor’s garage…

Thanks for the summary Dusan. I wish I’d got to see it. All of it sounds like progress if it really happens. I’ve had people dismiss SL because you couldn’t import from standard 3D tools. Great for product prototyping. As for better shared apps and web browsing - well those are the real benefits of Qwaq and Wonderland right now, and essential for the real enterprise meeting use case IMHO. We all had our suspicions when Adam Simmons, author of the embedded browser library Awesomium spent some time at LL this summer. Of course, a clickable scrollable browser is technically possible now in SL, and so to the obligatory plug - you can see this working in a video I recently released for our Roobaab collaboration platform http://blog.knowsense.co.uk/blog/_archives/2009/8/16/4289954.html

What you said in the last two paragraphs. Thumbs up. The mountain and Mohammed. LR have figured out they’re Mohammed in this story.

I’m not sure, but I think the part about sharing applications like Excel was, umm, highly imaginative. The sound quality I was hearing was terrible though so I might have missed that part.

Big, big, big!

There’s a lot to look forward to, and a lot to figure out yet, but I’m excited all over again.

so as second life chases the web, metplace and the older web3d based tech worlds will chase the worlds.

anyhow- tech direction looks fine. EXCEPT unless they lock down IP issues first. if they dont they will find 15 years of 3d content owned by all sorts of folks dumped into the grid, and if monetized via lindens, subject to lots of litegation.

i wonder what the specs are on these new viewers though… where they mentioned?
min sys requirenents?
