Summit Session: "OPEN WONDERLAND: THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE"

SPEAKER:
Nicole Yankelovich
Executive Director, Open Wonderland Foundation

SESSION SUMMARY:
Open Wonderland is an official Immersive Education Initiative virtual worlds platform. Wonderland powered the very first virtual worlds on The Education Grid, and is today used by schools around the world. As an open-source toolkit for building 3D virtual worlds, Open Wonderland supports immersive audio, 2D and 3D shared applications, multi-user Java programs in 2D or 3D, and telephony integration. Wonderland is completely open and highly extensible and features simple drag-and-drop building tools that enable educators and students alike to create a wide array of richly customized virtual worlds.

In this keynote presentation Nicole will give a brief history of the Wonderland project, starting with its origins at Sun Microsystems through the recent formation of the Open Wonderland Foundation. She will then give attendees a visual tour of how Wonderland is being used today, focusing on education and collaboration applications. Finally, Nicole will conclude with an overview of key Wonderland features and will close with her thoughts about where the Wonderland is headed in the future.

Hidden goodies like this are all over the internet. This is really the sort of thing that should replace Second Life, but all the while barely anybody uses it and nobody knows or cares about it.

I find it incredible that this amazing technology, which is available completely free to use, modify, and distribute for everyone only has 710 views.
