Telling a story in 3D community oriented worlds

       Where am I heading?

o       No specific plans

         Just hop through the hyperspace links of life and see where I land

               Quoting M. in intro scene:
                                            I can simulate and recreate, 
                                              I can redesign, and intertwine, 
                                              Reengineer, with no fear, The Myth.

Chorus: (Euripides):

Zeus on Olympus is the author of much

 and the Gods bring much to pass unexpectedly.

What we expect does not come to pass

and a God finds some way to produce the unexpected.

That is what has happened here.





 

o       Suggestions for future developments regarding immersive / interactive theatre

         Experiment similar approach for other play scrips

         Develop OPEN 3D community oriented environment

         Taking an existing engine and do a world management layer on top (high-level, specifically tailored for story-telling)

         Pack bot management activities as a library for a well known scripting language (python)

         Enhance simulator tools and experience further interaction methods

         Collaborate with groups such as:
