'There' Limited Access

There has been in development for 6 years! I am pretty sure I saw it at SIGGRAPH. Check out the What is There page. Of course this means yet another way to virtually have a life (while sitting in your underwear drinking Mt. Dew) but it is a very cool concept. They even have sponsors like Nike and Levis. I had the opportunity once to create a VR world in a class here at BGSU called "Artistic Virtual Environments." That was once of the best classes I have ever taken. I remember it was the first interdisciplinary class like it here. It was a blast to make a virtual world. There is not like a CAVE by any means, but it looks to be almost as immersive as a CAVE. I guess they are going to charge more for voice capabilities, I think that is lame. I hope There gets off the ground fully soon. It looks like a lot of fun to explore. You will need a PC as I found out. They have a survey to take, and they include Mac OS in it, which makes no sense to me as they will email you and tell you your hardware does not qualify. I had to email them back and tell them what I thought about that, and that I have a PC that can handle There. So I am on a list and waiting to get another email about testing There out. I can't wait!
