I-VW (pronounced "eye-view") is a new collaborative research venture
from the artificial intelligence specialists in the School of
Informatics at the Virtual University
of Edinburgh (Vue). They are working to bring intelligent systems
into virtual worlds and to make productive use of them as the next
step of the development of the Internet and its use for the good of
mankind.
The team is already one of the most active across a range of the emerging Virtual Worlds platforms having beta-tested a wide range of platforms, and helped hundreds of groups and people get their initial foothold in the new territories of the Internet. An evaluation methodology to investigate the potential of virtual worlds for practical uses is being developed as part of the I-VW programme. The team have especially concentrated on intelligent collaborative systems in Virtual Worlds, e.g. the I-Room. Subscriptions for active membership of this exciting new international initiative will shortly be open.
The programme's themes are to be refined and confirmed on a cyclic basis by the programme steering board appointed from the membership. Initial work is focused on a number of research themes:
