Update

We’ve been busy!

• The website has had a facelift. Today we’re looking nice and clean and web-two-point-oh-ey. It’s a work in progress, and comments are very welcome.

• The 3D Demo has had an update. See if it works for you. If it doesn’t work (or doesn’t look very good, or throws an exception and eats you), let us know. Try throwing objects around, manipulating media, and opening a door. And try double-clicking on any movable objects to jump around the space. There are a couple of “Easter eggs” in the room as well.

• Behind the scenes, the “real” application has hit another milestone. We’re now previewing most of the core 3D multimedia functions in active beta (at varying levels of completion), and sampling a handful of animated 3D characters from the next phase. We’re also allowing 3D spaces to be shared and embedded in other places. You might see a handful of them around. Do sign up to join in…

• We’ve moved! Not virtually, but in real life. We’ve found ourselves in a beautiful, spacious, lively new facility with lots of space and jacuzzis and DJs. But maybe the jacuzzis and DJs are virtual. :)

• We’ve got some interesting new faces on the team. We’ll persuade them to introduce themselves here in the next few weeks. For the moment, they’re all whiling away the hours looking agile.

More soon.
