Being an architect, 3D artist, multimedia producer and web designer and having started in the game back in the 80′s with kiosks and Sculpt 3d while reading Neuromancer and Count Zero, I always wanted to develop a 3D environment where objects contained data, links to data and embedded semantics about themselves that could then be shared with other objects in that environment without the need for human interaction. Whether for social networking in 3D or for exploring the hidden depths of the Pyramids at Giza or Chartres Cathedral or being able to take a tour of your City virtually linked by databases. With the evolution of Semantic Web and the advent of 3D tools for real time game type experience creation, I feel it must be now possible to do this. I am putting together a team of Architects and 3D designers in India and I am for looking Semantic Web, Logic, 3DWeb, Gaming and possibly VR experts to build out some radical experiments and then develop applications for exploitation later. Let me know if any of you out there are working in this arena and let us discuss collaborating in some exciting ways or just sharing knowledge and keeping in touch. Also if there are any exciting experiments going on that you can point me towards I would be most grateful. I look forward to your comments.
