New Media: are the Virtual Real Worlds the New Media?
Surely Web2.0 is now old media.
The new media will be immersive 3D environments; using the technology developed by the CGI, gaming, and film industries will be the future media.
We need to start preparing for this rather than the 2D text, images and flashy flashy web sites with no content; just a front office metaphor.
I believe we should start planning now for the future revolution; we are at the beginning of a wave of change that will completely change… Continue

Titanic Virtually Unreal
I’ve just been given a demo of a Virtual Space by Joe Rigby of Mellanium Studios, where they’ve created a live scale replica of the Titanic using the Unreal 2 engine and roughly 850,000 polygons. It’s quite impressive. Check it out, more info after the Video.

MellaniuM to create Virtual Real Worlds for Autistic Research.
Virtual Real Worlds are to be used to simulate new 3D environments for people in the autistic spectrum. For people with autism, VRWs are way of setting up realistic social situations that might be encountered in their everyday lives. For people who have social, emotional, communicational problems VRWs can enable them to familiarise with a simulated situational environment before actually experiencing in real life.

MellaniuM to conduct feasibility on 5 Axis Hand-Held Controller.
Any computer user will tell you just how important it is to use a good controller while experiencing Virtual Real Worlds. While keyboards or two-button mice are sufficient for environments that contain minimal control options, the advent of first-person perspective environments has forced users to look for user friendly options. The 5 Axis controller is the solution to all such problems.
Initially it doesn't look very different f… Continue

Filed under: Animation, Machinima — overman @ 11:07 am
Joe Rigby of Mellanium (previously talked about here) gave me a guided tour of their product recently. There are many things to be excited about with this technology, but one of the most significant breakthroughs is with regard to the quality of 3d models. Since its inception, real-time 3d rendering’s trade-off has been low poly models - a necessary evil which is ever so slowly becoming less of an issue. (See Mass Effect, UT3). Finding ways around this limitation has been a bit of a holy grail for machinima in some circles.
Mellanium’s modification of the game environment allows the introduction of Autocad-quality (very high detail) 3d models into the UT2004 engine, while still keeping performance speeds / client machine specs very reasonable (i.e. close to the specs already required to run that game).
During the walkthrough, I got to see highly detailed player models, exquisite Autocad props, and all within the kind of large open environments Unreal has always been so good at rendering; I noticed no lag. The video below shows the kind of detail I’m talking about. If they can do this in UT2004… imagine what they’ll be able to do in UT3 if they port their tools over there?
My Zimbio
3D virtual real worlds (VRWs) are virtual spaces where multiple users can reside and communicate with each other in an online 3D environment. Virtual real worlds ( from Tele3DWorld) are focused on hundreds and even thousands of simultaneously occurring processes that are not obligatorily interconnected. Sounds, animations, hi-resolution textures and hi-poly meshes produce a realistic atmosphere or environment that resembles realistically the real world in great detail.
In order to join the 3D virtual real world community it is necessary to select a 3D avatar who will represent the persons persona in the 3D environment. After that the avatar can move around the 3D world with 6 DOF communicating with other users through personal messages and VoIP. Users may choose different roles provided by a particular virtual real world. For instance, the leading a group in a treasure hunt around the virtual world by teleporting to the various locations (VRW to VRW) through cyberspace.
3D virtual real worlds provide a unique opportunity for people to demonstrate their abilities, to share their experience, knowledge and emotions with other people in a 3D environment recreating specific conditions (either real-life, proposed, or imaginary). 3D virtual real worlds facilitate global interaction between people by providing the space for multi-user scientific conferences, business/design meetings, online trade, shows, workshops, social networks, and other events.
Virtual real worlds serve different purposes, such as entertainment, education, design, maintenance, communication, commerce, etc. They have the ability recreate various environments ranging from virtual shops, offices, and hotels to fantasy worlds created by the human imagination. The applications of virtual real worlds are numerous virtual offices, online classrooms, virtual factories, virtual museums/art galleries, etc. The majority of currently existing virtual worlds are still focused on the gaming and entertainment sector. However they will start switching to various business initiatives to establish a VRW web (teleporting from a 3D VRW to a 3D VRW via cyberspace; rather than from 2D web page to 2D web page).
Advantages:
* Amazing and realistic user experience;
* Worldwide communication and implementation;
* Possibility to create or recreate any desired 3D environment;
* Simultaneous multi-user collaboration for separate groups;
* Simultaneously running processes and actions that affect the virtual real world but will not affect other system users.
Features:
* realistic true perspective 3D environment (first person);
* support of interactive 3D avatars and AI bots;
* communication by speech and text to speech;
* Hi-definition textures and artefacts;
* expandable system architecture (which allows adding new levels and modules);
* integration with other software and platforms.
Greater understanding of the real world will enable a higher truth to be established.
