Interview – Nalates’ Things & Stuff

Ebbe Altberg @ CES

2018/01/15 by Nalates Urriah

The site Venture Beat has published an article, How companies can build VR spaces inside Linden Lab’s Sansar.

There are a couple of new… concepts… revealed in the interview.

It is interesting to find out the names of people we know from movies and books are people looking at Sansar. The reproduction of the CES show in Vegas and the creation of Ready Player One are apparently impressive.

Ebbe is still saying we are in the very early stages of development. If you have been in Sansar™, you’ll probably agree. I do.

This year will see a shift in the Lab’s focus from developers to consumers. This is the year Sansar will ‘LIKELY’ come out of beta. But, I wouldn’t bet big money on it. We may see it slide into 2019.

Jo Yardley covers a recent Ebbe Altberg interview: Ebbe Altberg interview about SL & Sansar which is going public next January. The original is here: Episode 7, Ebbe Altberg, Virtual Reality Snowball Champion. I found two interesting points. In the early testing they ran into problems with users getting dizzy.

ODD: Intel Developers to use Second Life?

2016/04/13 by Nalates Urriah

In my reading I came across this article on the Intel Developer site: Unity Tip: Using Second Life As A 3D Modeling Package. Quoting: You may need to use 3D modeling to create objects for your project but do not have the technical experience yet to do so, or find that your package of choice … Read more

Ebbe on VR

2016/03/29 by Nalates Urriah

Bloomberg Business talked about Virtual Reality (VR) a few days ago. In the show was a few minutes with Ebbe Altberg, Linden Lab CEO. The discussion of VR starts about 10:30m in. My take away is that gaming adoption of VR is going to be slow. Mostly because of cost. Other uses of VR are … Read more

Ebbe’s Speech Shaking Things

2016/03/10 by Nalates Urriah

Linden Lab’s CEO Ebbe Altberg spoke at VWBPE 2016, Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education. There are some interesting points made in the speech. Some are changes and others are just making it more clear what the Lab is planning with Project Sansar®.

For about 12 minutes Ebbe was talking about Second Life™ and Project Sansar. Then the question and Answer part starts. The moderators were doing an excellent job of focusing questions. That got lots of ground covered.

I’ve done my summary style index. Paraphrasing. And I’ve added links into the video for those things I think have impact.

The most impactful thing I took away from this Q&A is how often Ebbe implies and says Project Sansar and the final resulting product will not be a replacement for Second Life. He provides way more information on why not. If you’re an educator, you may well be keeping your projects in SL with… I’ll say… links to very focused experiences in Sansar.
