NASA Virtual Worlds and Immersive Environments Report
NASA has published a report from the workshop on virtual worlds and immersive environments held in 2008 at Ames Research Center. The report, created by workshop organizers and participants, summarizes the presentations and discussions at the workshop, which was attended by a diverse group of people from the research, commercial, education, and gaming sectors. Key themes include remote exploration, global participation paradigms, and the narrowing boundaries between physical and virtual experience. For training simulations and outreach purposes, NASA continues to use virtual worlds. Check out the STS-125 Hubble servicing spacewalk simulation and stay tuned for more interactive virtual worlds about future moon missions. I don’t have a current update on where NASA is with it’s RFP for a MMOG platform but will be keeping my eye out for the latest on that.
