PERSONAL PROFESSIONAL VISION
Immersive collaboration is the future for communications and business. The advent of 3D worlds such as Second Life present us with the same potential for collaboration as did the invention of the telephone and the Internet. Per analysts such as the Gartner Group and my own personal experience, virtual worlds will change the way we live our personal lives and do business on a scale not seen since the start of the Internet. We are at the birth of a new paradigm in collaboration.
