Part 3 and the final questions posed by IBM at their recent mixed reality global "think tank." Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here.
Roo Reynolds blogged about the event here and provides links to the complete chat transcripts.
What are your thoughts on these?
What about interoperability between worlds?
Ultimately, permeable identities and interoperability will be important. But so will non-permeable identities. Permeable is key for enterprise solutions. Non-permeable may hold more attraction for recreational/creative endeavors. Privacy will continue to be highly prized and cannot be overlooked in the Real World/Virtual World interoperability equation.
Would you prefer separate virtual worlds per brand (i.e., a separate McDonald's virtual world)?
There is definitely a place for this – just like there is for the Internet and intranets; MySpace and Linkedin. Virtual worlds will be purpose-driven.
What is more important, one perfect world or lots of interoperable ones?
A big “universe” (like the web) with small interoperable ones makes a perfect virtual world says SnoopyBrown Zamboni. I agree!
How can IBM play a role?
First, IBM brings legitimacy to virtual worlds for enterprise solutions. This spurs the collaborative efforts and momentum on a broad scale. Second, IBM understands b2b solutions and bringing virtual world collaboration to enterprises is a logical step. Third: technology solutions, hosted solutions and business consulting leadership for v-business deployment.
Your turn...
