2017 OSHG: Public service web-world by CybaLounge. Virtual worlders, this one is for us

Public service web-world by CybaLounge.  
Virtual worlders, this one is for us.

Cybalounge has followed up on a proposal I posted describing a preliminary web-world that could be used by public service organizations in virtual worlds to introduce the people of the flat browser world to the services they offer.  This initial world is suitable for voice conversations with people (or groups) and for presentations in voice with slides or videos.  

• Go there with this web link:   Public service web-world by Cybalounge
• Nothing for you to download and install.  The world will download in a few seconds.
• No registration needed.  Just choose an avatar and enter the name you want to use.
• Then click enter and your avatar will be in the web-world.
• If you go there by yourself, there will be little to do.
• Go there with friends and talk about how your organization could use it.
• There are no reserved times yet.
• Nonprofit commons (NPC) will have managing control of this world.  
• Browser-viewer, progress and possibilities: Summary
• Worlds in your browser. The worlds of WebGL are coming
• 3D web-worlds of the browser
• More after the break

OSHG:  A third web-world.  
Singer Girl markets her music academy

Another web world brings a 3D world to a browser page.  This one is not only a demo, but a marketing tool.  But it is also a demo of how web worlds could be used as a marketing tool.   Maybe they will be used as a marketing tool by some virtual world grids or communities.   

Web-world entrance in a flat picture

You have to go to the web page to get in

• To enter the real virtual world, go to this page: Sing-Smart web-world.
• Sing Smart Music Academy
• This is a work in progress and will change from time to time.

The writers group at Nara's Nook has started a learning and production project using the guide book "The 90-day novel," by Alan Watt.  To contribute to the project without spending the time on a novel, I am writing a short story or one act play using some of the guidance from the book.

2017 OSHG: PEOPLE: EDU: Conferences, the web-world version

Conferences, the web-world version

An analysis of the activities at  an educational or research-oriented conference indicates that these can be carried out in a virtual world on a web page equipped with streaming video and web-worlds. The key is recognizing the small group activities that can be carried out in a web-world and the large audience activities that work effectively in video streaming.

• An educational or research-oriented conference can be carried out on web pages.
• There are two main kinds of professional activity in a conference.
• Presentations and small group conferences. 
• Presentations can be streamed.  Small group conferences will fit in a web-world.

• No download and install a viewer.
• At a minimum, the visitor will choose an avatar and enter a screen name.
• If they like what they find, they may get a viewer for a better experience. 
• You can embed it on your web page.  And it does have voice.
