I am funding an open source virtual reality project called realXtend working on similar issues as your team. I would like to invite your key people to Oulu, Finland to discuss collaboration or even integration of OpenSim and realXtend projects to succeed in the global competition in virtual environment development. I am willing to take care of all the expenses. Please find enclosed a brief summary of the realXtend project. I and our team hope to meet you soon, if possible in December. <BR><BR>Please forward this message to all active OpenSim contributors who should be invited to collaborate with realXtend project in Oulu, Finland.<BR><BR><SPAN class=q>On behalf of the realXtend team, </SPAN><BR><SPAN class=q>Yours sincerely</SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=q>Juha Hulkko, realXtend program manager</SPAN><BR><BR><BR><SPAN class=q>realXtend project</SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=q>Idea: The virtual environment should function parallel to reality, with reality as the starting point. Everything done in real life can be supported by the virtual environment - not just having fun but living your life in full, even extending it. The threshold from reality to virtual reality should be low. We create technology to serve this purpose. The technology is developed as an open source product free to use for everyone. This enables companies and consumers to create applications using our platform as a base for their ideas and thus provide content. </SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=q>Aim: To create an interface for reality and extended reality by developing an open source -based platform for virtual environments</SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=q>Examples: Using our realXtend platform (ReX for short) you can live in your house before it is built, have business meetings and share documents without chaos, and have real contacts in real time with a really rich interaction. </SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=q>Who we are: The realXtend team comprises 20 talented programmers, designers and content creators from LudoCraft Ltd and Admino Ltd. The companies have a strong background in ICT. LudoCraft has collaborated with human resource development specialists and educational scientists and combines theoretical, technical and artistic expertise. </SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=q>Our key people are:</SPAN><BR><SPAN class=q>Juha Hulkko: Program Manager, founder of Elektrobit corporation (<A href="http://www.elektrobit.com/" target=_blank>http://www.elektrobit.com </A>) and Centre for Wireless Communications, University of Oulu ( <A href="http://www.cwc.oulu.fi/home/" target=_blank>http://www.cwc.oulu.fi/home/</A>)</SPAN><BR><SPAN class=q>Tony Manninen: CEO LudoCraft Ltd, Professor of Digital Games, Department of Information Processing Science, University of Oulu</SPAN><BR><SPAN class=q>Tommi Hollström: Research and Development Manager, Admino Ltd </SPAN></P></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></body>
