Invitation to Present at the first SIGGRAPH Multiuser Virtual Environments BOF: MUVE MOOT
chris
Meeting Summary
Meet and discuss Multiuser Virtual Environments (MUVEs) and
demonstrate your work. Topics of interest can be application related:
such as MUVEs in art, education, entertainment or business, or
technical, such as modelling or protocols for MUVEs. Whether your
interest is in standards or just playing, whether you are involved in
multiuser games, online virtual worlds, collaborative or business
applications, please come an share your thoughts and demo your work!
The main subject I would like to focus on is the influence of 3D
virtual environments on social networking. But it is free format and
you can speak on other subjects. Some topics of interest: virtual
commerce, gameplay, technologies (grid, protocols and 3D graphics),
privacy and protection of virtual property.
Anyone who plans to attend please email me (drago...@gmail.com) so I
can get some idea of numbers. Please also say if you have something to
present and what you would like to see on the
agenda for discussion.
