ISN Virtual Worlds is among the finalists that will be presenting at the Venture Camp 2010.

The Venture Camp is a two-day event organized by the Mind the Bridge Foundation and hosted by Corriere della Sera (the leading Italian newspaper) in Milan, held to promote a healthier Italian entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Mind the Bridge Foundation is a non-profit organization, founded in 2007, with the aim of providing a link between the most innovative Italian start ups and Silicon Valley.

Venture Camp is an annual event with a double objective:

Chosen startups will be invited to participate in the MtB Gym, a tutoring program between Italy and the Silicon Valley.

Adding a New Dimension to enterprise learning and collaboration.

In today’s business context large Companies need to collaborate across borders, share ideas among workgroups and stimulate networking inside and outside the company.
Efficient collaboration translates into better ideas, efficient problem solving and cuts costs.
Companies need better internal communication to share expertise and successful client cases.
Companies need a collaboration tool that is easy and fun to use, while enabling powerful functionalities.
With the new possibilities of Web 3D, a new dimension for online interaction and collaboration is now available.

Web 3D technologies are simply the natural evolution and convergence of several technologies commonly used to collaborate nowadays. (web 2.0, social networking)
Web 3D allows:
Synchronous learning and real time interaction, with voice, chat and video.
Gives users the ability to contribute and create content within the learning and collaboration system.
Gives users the ability to share data and information with others in the 3D virtual world, enabling informal learning.
3D content is fun to use and engages people into the learning process in a more effective way.
A 3D learning environment combines powerful collaboration tool, within a videogame-like atmosphere, thus accomplishing a more enjoyable learning experience.

A new Generation of Learners… Grew up immersed in technologies. Enter the business world with a different focus mentally and with a different learning style than the previous generation.
The learning style is forged through video gaming and learning to master them.
Grew up in the age of the Internet, where they create content, become an Avatar and create their own realities electronically.

A New Generation of Learners requires A New Generation Learning Solution.

On the 20th of july 2010, ISN Virtual Worlds presented its solutions for the fashion industry at the IBM Forum in Milan, during an event for the fashion industry organized by IBM and the partners of the Fashion Alliance. ISN Virtual Worlds is in fact part of the Fashion Alliance by IBM, an Italian project promoted by IBM to offer innovative solutions for the fashion industry, through putting together selected partners to match the market needs with cutting edge solutions.
The Fashion Alliance is an initiative by IBM Italy and is formed by companies offering innovative solutions for fashion retail and new concept intelligent stores. These include interactive technologies for shops and virtual and augmented reality installations to enhance the shopping experience.
ISN Virtual Worlds, within the Fashion Alliance, provides solutions for online community management, virtual worlds, avatar and virtual assistants with artificial intelligence, 3D virtual shopping experiences and 3D simulation and training environments for company collaboration and internal knowledge transfer.

As the founder of ISN Virtual Worlds, I guess I am going to write this first post in our new company blog.

First let me spend a few words explaining why we started this blog. The answer is mainly to inform about the fast development of the technologies we work with and the availabily of new business solutions implemented by our company.

There are various blogs and news sources on Virtual Worlds and Web 3D, our intention here is not to give general news about the virtual worlds and Web 3D market, but to give visibility to our main use cases with virtual worlds and Web 3D technologies and how market innovations in our sector help us develop new solutions for our clients.

The team behind this blog is made of young professionals in the virtual worlds and Web 3D  sector, working in our company: project managers, marketing managers, interaction and strategic designers, IT managers and programmers.

We launched this blog at the end 2009 for a specific reason. The upcoming 2010 will be an important year of consolidation for virtual worlds and web 3D. After this long period of deep crisis, companies are raising their heads and we can see the first serious investments in terms of B2B applications of virtual worlds and web 3D.

As we previewed since 2007, the main applications of virtual worlds and web 3D technologies are for online collaboration and meeting and distance learning through 3D simulations. On the other hand, kids and teens 3D social networks and virtual worlds are booming and the virtual goods market is growing rapidly, especially for this target range.

Our role this year will see us implementing business solutions, through the customization of our partner’s platforms, such as the SL Grid of Linden Lab and Blue Mars of Avatar Reality. While on one hand ISN Virtual Worlds will always keep its community active and invest in the B2C side of our business and through its Virtual Italian Community in Second Life, the larger involvement of the company for 2010 will be around virtual learning projects and interactive simulations for training purposes.

3D online shopping is another application of the technolgies ISN Virtual Worlds develops. We are now able to bring the atmosphere of a 3D interactive space into a website, or create an indipendent 3D environment to recreate any condition and interaction.

For 2010 we also foresee an increase of the use our AI Avatars, artificially intelligent agents for online customer care and call centers. These versatile characters, based on the Avatar interface, can be adapted to handle various functions and they can refer for their intelligence module, to any existing knowledge base.

Performance, efficient tools, cost saving environments and green workplaces are the key words any company should keep in mind for 2010, as the new face of our online identities is taking shape around our Avatars.

I hope you will find this blog useful. Enjoy reading!
