Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2000 05:30:12 -0500 (EST) From: Carlos Jensen carlos-@cc.gatech.edu Subject: MediaMOO birthday Celebration, March 20th 2000!!!
Dear friends,
Another year (+) has flown by, and we again have the pleasure of inviting you all to come join us to help celebrate MediaMOO's birthday on Monday March 20th from 1-3PM EST. Those of you keeping track will have noticed that this year the birthday celebration comes 2 months late. No, we did not forget, we were busy arranging this special symposium, and hopefully the extra work will have been worth the delay.
We have worked hard to set-up a graphical server, in support of this years symposium topic. We have developed a communication link between MediaMOO and this new server, giving you the choice of attending the symposium from MediaMOO, or from the new graphical server. Please refer to the full announcement at: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~carlosj/MediaMOO.html for more details.
We hope to see you all this coming Monday,
Sincerely,
The MediaMOO crew.

-------------------
Using 3D Graphics in Online Communities: Opportunities and Challenges An Online Panel Discussion Featuring: Lili Cheng, Microsoft Research Wendy Kellogg, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center Raph Koster, Origin Systems Hannes Vilhjalmson, MIT Media Lab Moderators: Amy Bruckman and Carlos Jensen, Georgia Institute of Technology 1:00 - 2:00 PM EST in the STS Summer Conference Room (@go summer)
Are 3D graphics in online environments useful for other than entertainment purposes? Slick graphics have for a long time been one of the main selling points for entertainment products, but can they be effectively used in other domains? Games like Ultima Online, EverQuest and Asheron's Call demonstrate that graphical environments can foster a sense of community. Can graphical environments grow and prosper outside the games domain? How will these environments differ from the more traditional text-based systems? What challenges and opportunities do the use of graphics bring to the table?
In keeping with MediaMOO's spirit of exploration, we have set up a
graphical server based on Microsoft Research's VWorlds
