Trevor Smith of the Ogoglio project (”exploring shared 3D spaces in the context of Web-enabled work”), will discuss the synthetic world he’s developing for businesses, on Tuesday, December 5, at 10pm Eastern time, in Second Life. [UPDATE: The event has been moved to Sheep Tower, at »Sheep Island (134, 134, 113)«. A former Xerox PARC researcher, Smith will talk about using 3D Web spaces to “meet with remote coworkers, collaborate using new tools, integrate existing business applications, and enjoy the benefits of being in the same office with people in different time zones.” Trevor’s a smart guy, so this should prove to be a very interesting talk. There’s a brief announcement of the talk, which will be held »in the Mill Pond sim«, on the Synthetic World News blog of Indiana University.
