[...] One year ago, when I attended Wimbledon to help out with the hospitality, I noted that “there were some excellent conversations, and quite a few people who really seemed to find the whole virtual worlds thing not just unusual, but interesting and potentially useful too”. So much has changed, and so little. A year ago, IBM’s use of virtual worlds boiled down to a few intrepid explorers attempting to show some value in Second Life. Now IBM has a large and popular presence in Second Life, is setting up a metaverse behind the firewall and exploring virtual worlds in all sorts of other places too. It’s been an interesting year.

Perhaps you should check out Blink 3D, the virtual world development system. It allows you to do the sort of things you are talking about, validating login�s against legacy systems, TCP/IP, XML and XMPP. You can find out more at http://www.pelicancrossing.com

[...] Update 17.5.2007 Einen aktuellen Beitrag von Roo Reynolds (”metaverse Evangelist” bei IBM) �ber �Virtuelle Welten in der Bildung�, gehalten auf dem Eduserv Foundation Symposium in London kann man in seinem Blog abrufen. Der Foliensatz mit dem Titel “IBM’s use of Virtual Worlds” zeigt vor allem einen tollen �berblick �ber die Vielzahl von 2.5D-Welten, die es derzeit gibt mit Screenshots. Sein Foliensatz enth�lt angeblich auch einen “Teaser for what�s going on behind the firewall of IBM.”, ob das der Screenshot mit der 3D-Grafik ist? Also ein eigenes SecondLife entwickelt von IBM? Da kann man nur raten, zumindest ist eine Texteinblendung offensichtlich unkenntlich gemacht worden in der Grafik… und es gibt einen Blogeintrag zu einem “internal metaverse project”, dass einen sehr sehr �hnlichen Screen zeigt… (via time4you blog) [...]
