Home Health Care Returns! OpenSim running on SQL Server on Windows Server 2008 enables it securely...

Here we have OpenSim running on the very same hardware as the website that manages the web admin in the previous post, Live Meeting and any other desktop or web application you would like to integrate your world with. Windows Server 2008 is recommended by many OpenSim developers due to it's memory management and native .NET environment. Our client PFH is aquiring new Dell laptops for patient use to allow for secure, in home one on one visits. OpenSim… Continue

Sneak Peek at one possible management tool for OpenSim, Live Maps and Second Life virtual worlds.

In order to use this system an anonymous ID is given to the administrative SQL Server database. There is a standard login as well separate from Live ID. OpenID will soon be supported.

A future where your Avatar grows with you from Birth

You know the box people keep trying to think outside of? I'm about to light the box on fire and then acid bath the ashes. Future concept coming! Some assumptions: 1-The brain stores your memories and somehow manages your real-time thought process based on memories and your current state of mind. 2-This memory will likely be one day able to be read by computer systems or something we created beyond the definition of computers today. They easily could be considered soon relics compared to the 50… Continue

A practical, proven scenario for enterprise ROI with 3D tools-Original post www.thinkbalm.com

As a former Test Engineer at a well known aerospace firm where I worked before forming G2 with my wife Robin I had the opportunity to develop applications and processes that ultimately improved our factories throughput and hence the bottom line was also improved. I have several cases to cite in this forum the first of which started with my initial job which was electrical test of components, the final step before shipping product.

Redefining Virtual World Interaction with Microsoft Surface

A recent chat with Microsoft about the possibilities of virtual worlds brought up a discussion of a new interface for computers called Microsoft Surface. Surface is a way for an individual or a group to easily access the resources of any network without cumbersome hardware like the lovable but unimaginative keyboard and mouse. Say for example you had a virtual museum. People could logon from home or school to experience it but what about public places… Continue
