November 21st, Avatars 98, The Third Annual Conference |
Avatars 98, the third annual conference of the Contact Consortium is going ahead and it will be held *inside virtual world cyberspace* and simultaneously at physical locales all around the world on a single 24 hour period, November 21st. We have garnered a wide range of support so far, including several corporate sponsors, exhibitors, and physical locations willing to host their own events and "jack in" to the event online (all around northern california including "the farm" here in boulder creek, austin texas, milwaukee, munich, london, austria, paris, seattle, helsinki, toronto, australia, south africa, and so on).This should be a lot of fun and pioneer a new use of virtual worlds, for global simultanous cyberphysical happenings! The brief conference announcement page is at: http://www.ccon.org/ Get ready to make some more Cyberspace history!

Report From Avatars 98 Conference |
Larry Rosenthal, who founded the New York VRMLSIG in January 1996, participated in the Avatars 98 Conference from Berkeley, California. New York VRMLSIG members met Larry in his Stardock Alpha world for a live chat on Saturday afternoon during the conference. The chat was open to conference visitors and New York VRMLSIG members met "Clean" from Milwaukee, Winsconsin, "Hermetic Cab" from Germany and "Lod" from England. Lod left us his URL to check out and his Web site has some remarkable avatars! http://www.geo-metricks.com.
This image shows the blaxxun 3D Multi-user client running under Windows 95 with Larry's Stardock Alpha world loaded. Larry's avatar is the "bot" on the left in the picture chatting with "Hermetic Cab" from Germany.
