Forrester have just released a new report on Virtual Worlds:
Getting Real Work Done In Virtual Worlds by Erica Driver, Paul Jackson - Forrester Research
To quote their summary:
"Virtual worlds like Second Life, There.com, and more business-focused offerings are on the brink of becoming valuable work tools. Major companies and public-sector organizations — such as BP, IBM, Intel, and the US Army — are investing heavily in virtual world technologies. .... within five years, the 3-D Internet will be as important for work as the Web is today. Information and knowledge management professionals should begin to investigate and experiment with virtual worlds. Use them to try to replicate the experience of working physically alongside others; allow people to work with and share digital 3-D models of physical or theoretical objects; and make remote training and counseling more realistic by incorporating nonverbal communication into same-time, different-place interactions."
Ask us for a demo of the systems mentioned (and others) or if you need to know how this technology could be applied to your organisation.
