This is an interview with Maribeth Back, Senior Research Scientist at FXPAL research lab in Palo Alto, California. Maribeth explains a current project in collaboration with the TCHO Chocolate Factory,(www.tcho.com) where her team has created a virtual model of the factory in several virtual world platforms designed to display real sensor data from the real factory. There is also a mobile app on the iPhone for monitoring and controlling factory machines. A great interview showing how mixed reality technologies are enhancing and adding efficiency to our real world. See the full interview here: http://www.vimeo.com/5134897

This is a video response to a posting on Jon Brouchoud's blog http://archsl.wordpress.com. Jon is a real world architect and famous builder in Second Life and OpenSim. A true innovator among architects. Here the team brought his Revit CAD model into the open standard in addition to converting it into a CAM model. I am more than happy to help this supporter of virtual worlds and open source migrate to the 3D web open standard.

Lauren Stokes interviews Cameron Sinclair, founder of Architecture For Humanity (AFH). Cameron and his organization are using the 3D web and its open standard (X3D) to promote green sustainable design and open source architecture. AFH also has its own interactive digital globe to host models from their Open Architecture Network. Using X3D Earth and Open Street Map, web3D students sponsored by GeoSherpa are helping Architecture For Humanity in their migration to the open interactive 3D web.
