• Virtual World SIG : The SDForum special interest group (SIG) on virtual worlds.

    Short Description:
    The 3D Virtual Worlds Special Interest Group (SIG) is a bi-monthly meeting for developers of virtual world platforms and related applications.
    This series of events brings together the programmers, content developers, and visionaries required to build virtual worlds.

    Charter:
    Virtual worlds have emerged amidst the mix of gaming, social networking, and 3D modeling technologies. Now they are the focus of considerable attention as a platform for media, virtual economies, and collaborative work. Many virtual worlds are created for and rely on developer-generated content as an integral part of their collaborative plan. This SIG will facilitate the collaborations and business partnerships required to build these virtual and emulated spaces.

    Remaining dates for SIG meetings in 2007: Aug 27, Oct 22
