Gracias por su texto, querido Kyonin!

Re: Google Cardboard hits 15 million installs

Just wondering: would it be possible to have a Google Hangout using a 360 degrees camera, and watch this using cardboard goggles? Because if this would be possible, it would mean that we could share 'real' immersive environments in real time.

fancy indeed.

Je kan het er bovenop dragen, maar elegant is anders. Google werkt naar verluidt wel druk aan Glass vann brillenmensen, en zou daarbij designers onder de arm hebben genomen.

Voor herhaling vatbaar denk ik, William vond het ook een interessante formule - de discussie maakt het toch tot een heel andere ervaring dan een gewoon interview.

Wacht eventjes. Nouriel Roubini, of Paul Krugman, of een expert van de WSJ zijn wél interessante bronnen als ze een artikel schrijven, maar géén interessante bronnen wanneer ze via Twitter attenderen op artikels, op conferenties, op uitspraken?

I don't think that we talk about iFads here, in the sense of a "fad" as a very temporary phenomenon. Millions, then billions of people will have constant access to the enormous knowledge and connective possibilities of the internet. They won't have to go to some special place in their home where the desktop stands, they won't have to carry around a computer as we know it. The connection will be wearable (on their clothes or bodies), can be activated instantly or even gives the possibility to intervene spontaneously. I do realize it also sounds scary - but it is a fundamental change, not a fad.

Interesting... I do understand on her emphasis on the educational possibilities of gaming mechanics, but the TED-video did not offer any critical analysis of the gaming industry and the presuppositions of many games. But then again, I guess that was not the purpose of her presentation.

So glad to see you here again, Fleep. I feel rather guilty for not participating in Chilbo stuff right now, but my mother is very ill and I try to be with her in this last period of her life. I somehow manage to to do my job though (I hope) and also to participate in some SL activities such as the great discussions we have with We Are the Network and of course there is Metanomics as well.

See you soon, dear Fleep.

Re: Those complicated Russian media

I should have pointed out that the actual workshop (which takes three days) is organized not by Ria Novosti but by FNR (independent radio stations) and EurAsia Media (helping smaller and independent media).

Re: News media in the era of the real time web, a workshop in Moscow

RolandLegrand — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 03:04:54 -0000

I think enabling discussions and conversations is, also in Russia, a good thing. Can social media be used to spread half-truths and lies? Of course, just as the mainstream media formats can become tools for manipulation. But they can also be used to uncover the truth, to talk about real problems and issues and even to formulate solutions.

Re: Using social media and virtual worlds for news gathering

RolandLegrand — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 10:00:59 -0000

Thank you for your great comment, Joel! I think if we do this for We Are the Network, we should open up the discussion, and ask the question how we, the people formerly known as the audience, would want to organize news gathering in our neighborhoods, cities, virtual worlds... What kind of relation do we want with newspapers and professional news sites, what can people do to engage themselves in the news gathering, how do we want news presented...

I should check them out.

yes, you're right about IMVU (just looked it up). So the question remains: is it just a matter of marketing? Habbo and IMVU are more oriented towards teenagers (correct me if I'm wrong), Runescape is a gaming environment.

Metaplace at the start was very open-ended, and maybe the major problem was that it did not target specifically kids/teens or adults, nor did it feature prominent games.

So maybe only Second Life can get away with being an open-ended, not specifically gaming oriented environment for young and old alike (but mostly "older" people), while other worlds would have to decide whether to promote specific games and appeal to specific age groups?

RolandLegrand — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 05:34:25 -0000

Good question. But are those three worlds created by the users, or by designers and content creators appointed or selected by the owners of those worlds?

Sure Joel, I know the discussion will be balanced and open as always... The nice thing about these discussions is that we are not aiming for one single conclusion, every participant goes home with her or his own conclusions.
Unfortunately I won't be able to attend :((, I've to attend a meeting & dinner in meatspace...

Re: Disruptive technology adoption is a uphill battle

RolandLegrand — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:42:56 -0000

hm. I had the feeling it was not brand new... let's say it illustrates something. Especially the quote about the video - or how the 3D metaverse needs the 2D, at least if one wants to reach a wider audience.
