New ED for January 2008 start time 


IBM put together this little 3D "portal" that links to Flux and other 3D
virtual worlds demos. It's simple, and a bit silly. Larry R had done a
better one 2 years ago with the x3dxperience site. 

If we have any cash (dubious I'm sure) we should throw some at Larry to
upgrade and re-launch that. He took it down six months ago due to lack of
interest - his own and in general.
