Comments on: Virtual Events Platforms http://www.serialdigital.com/2009/06/05/virtual-events-platforms/ Notes on presentation graphics and vision systems Sun, 01 Aug 2010 13:41:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Chris Haff http://www.serialdigital.com/2009/06/05/virtual-events-platforms/comment-page-1/#comment-4339 Chris Haff Mon, 08 Jun 2009 21:21:51 +0000 http://www.serialdigital.com/?p=218#comment-4339 Hey Steve, thanks for writing about out platform. I thought I'd share a link to our walk through piece: http://www.jackmorton.com/virtual/Default.aspx As you'll see it's not so much a Second Life virtual world as a dimensional space that users can intuitively navigate. One of our goals was to not be wedded to any particular environment. The walk through shows another, more intimate space also designed by some of the same folks that bring our award winning set designs such as for the Colbert Report and ESPN to life. Aside from full visual control we have created integration points for social networks and various back end systems to allow deep integration with other platforms, including the systems we use for live events. As Kevin says it's largely about extending the reach. Hey Steve, thanks for writing about out platform. I thought I’d share a link to our walk through piece:

The interesting thing from the speakers at Virtual Edge last week was that pretty much everyone including virtual platform providers themselves, see virtual as an amplifier to physical meetings rather than a replacement. So physical and virtual events compliment each other really nicely providing overall a more powerful customer journey experience. I think the big "threat" is if clients see physical events and virtual events as interchangable because they both have the word "event" in the name. i.e. they really aren't for the most part.
