acceleration in the metaverse
The Metaverse Meetup comes to Madrid: Second Life, Opensim, Croquet, Flash VR…
The Metaverse Meetup is ”a worldwide alliance for enthusiasts, professionals, critics and journalists interested in meeting around the globe to discuss virtual worlds”. The description of the first Metaverse Meetup group in New York is more explicit:
”Ever combined the Web, real life(tm), Second Life, World of Warcraft, Google Earth, Nintendo, Facebook and the unfolding human experience into a single thought (which you then Twittered over your iPhone)? Working on an art or web or game or virtual world project? Have an avatar? Are an avatar? Think video games can save the world or that the world is already a video game? (Or think that’s the worst thing you’ve ever heard?) Does Snow Crash ring any bells even if you’re way too cool to find it fascinating in public?
Move over Bay Area. Fans of history and the future who are interested in the march of the web into the world and the world into the web unite and make New York the world Metaverse capital! Meeting monthly for dinner, drinks, talks, networking, workshopping, fun, scheming, and events. People actively working on or especially interested in creative, mixed-reality, social web, video game, virtual world, mapping, simulation, or 3D projects highly encouraged.
If that all sounds better than bad you’ll probably enjoy the Metaverse Roadmap Overview foresight and research report”.
The last Metaverse Meetup in New York has been covered by Tish Shute of Ugotrade in ”Metaverse Meetup: OpenSim and Virtual Worlds Interoperability”. There is a video coverage: “Here is the video of our last Metaverse Meetup: OpenSim & Virtual Worlds Interoperability 7.23.08 (from Vimeo). The video of this landmark event was produced thanks to the awesome Annie Ok, Artist, Creative Director, Curator, Video Director, Metaverse Evangelist/Consultant, Co-Organizer of Metaverse Meetup”.
We have taken the initiative to organize the Metaverse Meetup Madrid. Starting in September and in collaboration with other events organizers here in Madrid and in the global Metaverse Meetup Alliance, we will cover the most interesting developments in Second Life (tm), Opensim, Open Croquet, Qwaq Forums, Wonderland, the new generation of VR-worlds-in-a-browser powered by 3D Flash, Lively, Chinese VR worlds and other new directions in the metaverse, and write reports on this blog and our blog in Spanish. We will also organize mixed-reality events (meetings in RL open to remote participants from the metaverse, and vice versa). In the picture, a virtual meeting point for Metaverse Meetup Madrid in metaXLR8 Park in Second Life.
