3D data for real world virtual worlds

"Mike Liebhold speaking at Stanford University on:
Abstract 3D data, maps, and software will change the way we compute and interact with spatial services.
Moving beyond simple texture mapped terrain and boxes,
new 3D mapping frameworks are rapidly evolving
into platforms for real world virtual world media,
interaction, commerce, and science.

"In this talk I'll review work of various groups who are building different components of a 3D Geoweb.
I will first describe how their 3D data and software will work as a platform for a 3D real world virtual world,
and then, what kinds of new applications and user experiences might be developed on these platforms,
and then finish with a brief discussion of prospects and mechanisms for data interoperability allowing users to create, discover, use, and exchange 3D data across platforms."

Philip Linden's talk @ IIR

"Virtual World Technology:
Get Ready for a REAL Virtual Experience & Join Us in Second Life!"

The event, the slides of the presentation in 35 snapshots.
Use of of a group to use voice "chat room" and it's was a low lag party!
Great presentation of the vision of the boss, Philip Linden !
Updated with the last improvements of Second Life.
Hope to have all events in Second Life like this one.

Google search In World is NOW !

Ok... everybody have seen this video.
Excellent improvement ... search was soooo painful.
No it's not "like Google", IT'S Google technology (with his operators).
En attendant "Web on a prim" ...

At the end of august, it was THE new : Second Life will use the Google Indexation Services for Enterprise
And few days after, I write that will be great, but not solve all the problems.
Less 80 days later, it's HERE in the Second Life Release Candidate client!

And it's awesome in my opinion for two reasons :
- a new developpement of the web browser inside Second Life (Look at the search in the Wiki!)
- the indexation of objects on parcels ... it look like an exhaustive indexation of the content of Second Life! It's far beyond landmarks...
So I don't stay writing this post : I'm going to download the RC client.
An emergency ...
A new era of exploration come.

--------------------------------

Ok ... Tout le monde a maintenant vu cette vidéo.
Excellente amélioration ... la fonction recherche a été si pénible.
Non ce n'est pas "like Google", c'EST la technologie Google (avec ses opérateurs).
En Attendant la prochaine étape : "Web sur une primitive" ...

Fin d'août, c'était LA nouvelle: Second Life va utiliser les services d'indexation de Google pour Entreprises. Et quelques jours après, j'ai pu écrire que cela sera certes important, mais ne résoudra pas tous les problèmes.
Moins de 80 jours plus tard, C'est LA dans le client Release Candidate de Second Life!

Et C'est impressionnant à mon avis pour deux raisons:
- cela constitue un nouveau développement du navigateur Web de l'intérieur de Second Life (Voir la recherche dans le Wiki!)
- l'indexation des objets sur des parcelles ... Il ressemble que l'on aille vers une indexation exhaustive du contenu de Second Life! C'est bien au-delà de simples landmarks ...

Donc, je ne reste pas à écrire ce message: je vais télécharger le client RC de ce pas.
C'est urgent ...
Une nouvelle ère d'exploration commence.

Cela me met de bien bonne humeur : alors BONUS !
