Patterns are emerging
Monky see, Monky build - we see physical buidlings, so tend to mimic and build them
"Observable performance"
Build more experience, less facility
"Memory cues"
Convergence of multiple media experiences - dashbord is changing on the fly
many realtime social tools open. Overload?
Chuck asks - what leaning experience did you really remember?
American Eagle - showing clothes - see and feel clothes
Bill - diversity training - dress up as someone different - makes you 'get' it as no slides could do
Dusty Artaud: VW-BPE - virtual worlds best practices in education
- inspiring way to see how education could be done
- Bill says -as good or BETTER than a real F2F conference
JohnFrej Herzfeld: want to record the VW experience, not a white paper or pix
- Dusty Artaud: My wake-up call, ah-Ha! moment was attending VWBPE 2008 - so many excellent presentations, and in voice.
Chuck - let's learn about the Amazon rainforest today
- a) read books
- b) see slides and pictures
- c) get on a plane and head there
most people prefer c) (per poll)
AgileBill Firehawk: Cocos Island, Costa Rica - a tourest sim, but lets you scuba dive, shows jungle, mountain, beach, sharks, etc (with custom music) nice intro area too with boat ride, and some RL pics
AgileBill can't do his job w/o SL, core part of his business
40% of IBMers don't have an office - trending up to 50%
Chuck is 'hyper connected' - does not feel alone
Culture is changing

Chuck "Global collaboration platform"
ROI - travel cost. Global talent
Parking cost
UT MBA program - virtual using SL
ome get it, some don't
Badge in - going down - putting physical real estate in question
(end of stories section)
Questions
- how do you address the worries of senior managment due to media hype
- recent hype has been positive
- Data now showing these spaces are valid
From Kay
From Kay -- This is not a question but a comment -- I see the "cross over skill set" differently. That is, it is just expedient for me -- teaching economics & business courses -- to learn scripting, SL building, graphics design etc. than it is to find help from colleagues and/or support staff.
- Digital renaissance woman
- we build and need new skills
Anders - what is the state of growth at IBM
- Expansion
- CIO's office
- Working Karen Keeter -
- Booking space
- Samtime 3d
- Click and connect
- Blocker - graphics cards - not all machine builders get yet.
- Intel is looking at it
Anders - do you rent space on sims?
- open to let folks see and use, but don't rent. Public islands are busy
- Number of avatars trending up
- 3d movies increasing - The Avatar - will help make lingo common
How long does it take to train people?
