Metaverse Meetup

Ever combined the Web, real life(tm), Second Life, World of Warcraft, Google Earth, Nintendo, Facebook and the unfolding human experience into a single thought (which you then Twittered over your iPhone)? Working on an art or web or game or virtual world project? Have an avatar? Are an avatar? Think video games can save the world or that the world is already a video game? (Or think that's the worst thing you've ever heard?) Does Snow Crash ring any bells even if you're way too cool to find it fascinating in public?

Move over Bay Area. Fans of history and the future who are interested in the march of the web into the world and the world into the web unite and make New York the world Metaverse capital! Meeting monthly for dinner, drinks, talks, networking, workshopping, fun, scheming, and events. People actively working on or especially interested in creative, mixed-reality, social web, video game, virtual world, mapping, simulation, or 3D projects highly encouraged.

If that all sounds better than bad you'll probably enjoy the Metaverse Roadmap Overview foresight and research report (which is clearly written and has pretty pictures in it): http://metaverseroadmap.org/overview

  • Metaverse rocks G4C!

    25-26 May 2010 in Manhattan, United States

    Hi, Metaverse peeps!The Games for Change Festival (G4C) ( ... ) is coming up next week and since many of us are involved with that community, I think it'd be a great time to schedule a meetup. I would suggest a post-G4C meetup on May 25th/Day 1 of the festival, since Expo Night runs from 6-8pm, and people will be looking for food & socializing after that. Good Stuff Diner is just down the block from where G4C will be held, and it has a full bar plus yummy food.

  • Life 2.0 in IFC New York City

    Wed, 12 May 2010, 00:00 - 02:00 in New York, United States

    Tuesday, May 11 at 8pmDirector Jason Spingarn-Koff digs deeply into the core of basic human interaction by assuming his own avatar and immersing himself in the worlds of Second Life residents, whose real lives have been drastically transformed by the new lives they lead in cyberspace. In doing so, he manages to create an intimate, character-based drama that forces us to question not only who we are, but who we long to be. ? Sundance Film Festival
