May 21st, 2010 by Frederic HerreraAfter two months of demonstrations to ‘friendly’ and ‘early adopters’ type visitors, VLAB finally has a web site. Thanks to Darran Morris of www.poly.ie & @darranmorris for the design work + back-end technology.
Why VLAB? The brand name stands for virtual lab. A lab space where users step in a cube-shaped space to be immersed in virtual worlds. A massive holodeck like in Star Trek most people say. People need to be in it to really believe that technology can create such sense of immersion for the mind. Visitors look down and they can feel suspended in the air. They can move a wand to browse an immersive environment and move 3D objects.
This blog will touch on many aspects of immersive 3D environments. 3D is complex in many ways and hence offers new opportunities at different levels – technology, usability, and business models.
