Metaverse Roadmap
by BridgetAG at 1:31 pm EST, Jan 16, 2006

The MVR is a comprehensive 10-year technology forecast and visioning survey of 3D Web technologies, markets, and applications (see ASF's technology roadmapping page). This includes the convergence of networked video games (ex: Xbox Live), virtual worlds (ex: Second Life), massively multi-player games (ex: World of Warcraft), 3D animation (ex: Massive Software), 3D creation tools (ex: 3ds Max), 3D prototyping and fabrication (ex: Fab Lab), artificial life (ex: Darwin@Home), digital maps of our planet (ex: Google Earth), and the underlying trends in hardware, software, connectivity, business innovation and user adoption that will drive their transformation and development in the coming decade.

Designed as a "living forecast," the MVR aims to be regularly updated by an expert community of interest in a range of technology, business, policy, and social science domains. The process kicks off with an invitational Metaverse Roadmap Summit at SRI in spring 2006.

I have just joined the driven team at Acceleration Studies Foundation (Accelerating.org, the people behind Accelerating Change conferences) as Project Manager for the MVR. Using my background in non-profit governance, business and extensive game research network, I am working with them to bring everything together for this important creation. Website with more info will be up in a few weeks, email me if you have questions, comments, suggestions, recommendations before then.

-Bridget
