This initiative is called the Open Cobalt Project. He will have a video conference seminar with us from USA to explain the opportunities of research collaboration in this area as follows: Location: MMU Cyberjaya, 3rd Floor, STC Meeting Room Time: 9:00 am Date: Tuesday, 24 August 2010 Open Cobalt has the potential to become the Mozilla/Netscape/Web Browser of the 3D world. There are many research opportunities; here are a just few ideas that I jotted down from a conference call with him, Dr. Aik-Siong Koh (of FreeCAD fame) and our Dr. Ian Chai: Making cobalt easy to install, like Skype, no fiddling with ports and firewalls. Integrating video into the avatars -- face tracking? Integrating shibboleth into Cobalt. Registry for Open Cobalt worlds 3D search - using meta data? Integrating a physics model into Cobalt API standardization for interaction We invite all who are interested to come to the video conference/ seminar. For more information, please contact me.
