3D Immersive Environments

2010-01-30T10:52:00.011+01:00

The Enterprise Immersive Software Decision-Making Guide from Thinkbalm is a use case-based guide designed to aid business decision makers in the enterprise 3D immersive software selection process.

Enterprise 3D immersive software is an emerging technology category that is core to the Immersive Internet evolution.

Here, you will not find vendors pitted against one another on a mammoth feature/ function checklist nor any single vendor crowned as The Leader — impossible in a market that is small, fragmented, volatile, and characterized by fast-changing technology.

What 3D software viewer, 3D browser-based application, 3D SAAS etc. should be used for what kind of 3D meeting, 3D conference, or 3D training? 19 virtual world vendors are analyzed and compared in a decision-making structure:

3D immersive software for meetings will expand the information worker toolkit.

Expat Training in Virtual Worlds

2009-12-01T11:13:00.018+01:00

The group Expat Training was established in Second Life with the purpose to provide cross-cultural training for individuals, expatriates and their families in and by using virtual worlds.

http://world.secondlife.com/group/8d5496cf-92cb-9395-21f3-aa6e4ad07608

If you are considering to move to a real foreign destination or major city, you can sign-up to virtual pre-arrival tours and expat meet-ups at these mentioned general locations. Upon demand, such tours are composed in a pre-disposed virtual area of your virtual counterpart.

From a home or office computer, you as expat and your families can download guides, meet at a personal guided tour, get an idea of the layout of the foreign city and the distances involved, and experience the courtesies and customs in the new location before you arrive.

You can also become acquainted with local networking groups and community meet-ups prior to your arrival.

Check our Virtual Help Desk for initial, enabling, and skill building processes as Newbie:

We are also working on a mixed reality service module, and this service also intends to put foot into other virtual domains.

Introducing Translations for Facebook Connect / Google Translator Toolkit

2009-10-06T16:21:00.002+02:00

Translations for Facebook Connect is available as a free tool for developers worldwide to simplify the process of translating a website, IFrame or FBML-based application into any of the languages Facebook currently supports.

For example, with Translations for Facebook Connect, country tourist boards or travel sites that want to attract foreign visitors on holiday can use this framework to translate their sites and automatically present the content to users in their native language after they log in with Facebook Connect.
