Modular Virtual Campus Spaces Designed for Easy Full Sim Set Up in Open Sims

Cube3 released a new virtual spaces system designed for corporate or educational entities that want a full virtual campus or office presence in an Open Sim system's Grid. Debuting on the professional B2B and Educational Community - ReactionGrid, the CampusPodz offer a a pre designed quarter sim layout of buildings, meeting areas, landscaping, furniture systems and outdoor seminar/training areas that allow for an instant professional looking campus presentations and spaces.

The CampusePodz systems are designed for a simple graphic/content/layout build/video customization process by any purchaser or with Cube3 consulting assistance. Every element of the CampusPodz comes as a "copy/modify" 2d/3d asset that can be adjusted or modified for many final presentation designs and needs.

"Many Virtual Designs from Second Life are not offered in styles or with the support appropriate for a corporate or educational institute's purposes." stated Cube3's Larry Rosenthal. "The C3 CampusPodz are designed specifically in a clean professional modern style that once customized with graphics and client specific content, can provide the easiest way for an organization to begin a virtual worlds Open Sims project online in a community like ReactionGrid knowing they are working within a professional process and relationship with it's provider"

ReactionGrid is one of the new Open Sim Communities based on the open source technologies began at campusrv1_003 Linden Labs with their Second Life Virtual World. Unlike Second Life, Open Sims can be created and hosted directly by third party corporate or educational organizations and are also not required to operate within many of the "Game-like" conceits of Second Life.

The CampusPodz System can be licensed for Corporate usage starting at $1,000 USD. Further customization can be offered via Cube3 on a per project basis, and Educational Institute Pricing Discounts are available as well.

To be or not to be (a product)

Maxping says: as we try to serv you with 3D related press releases, we like to give some background. Following discussions in the mailing lists, we still have a discussion wether opensim is a product or not.

One side is for sure this opensource aspect, universitary research and design aspects in systems and software. The other side is sitting in front of most viewer - the user. Establishing a broad basis for "acceptance needs those - and they feel quite well using a so called product.

Now, there is no conflict - as long as the user stay on releases and the developer and test take the hell ride on the hottest 100 versions a week.

If we go futher and think about use cases, maybe even organizations and companies as the operator of a opensim based service, a toolkit enabling their business is a well proven way.

That is, where we at maxping appreciate alle solutions, like presented by Cube3.

	Kyle G-CEO ReactionGrid Inc. said on Monday, October 26, 2009 (7:19:03 AM) We have decided to closely work with Cube3 because their work is original with broad range but also it is grounded in reality, virtually speaking. What I mean is his designs are meant to be used, tested to work with live groups of users and optimized to perform well under load. His customization options mean whatever your dream is, their team can achieve it. We use their work ourselves and it is as stated, cool and reliable. Highly recommended!
	Jani said on Monday, October 26, 2009 (7:30:08 PM) Cube3 has given a lot of comments also to Maxping magazine and its articles, I would like to use this possibility to thank you c3! I don't always agree with your opinions, but that is how it should be - long live the free speech.
	cube3 said on Tuesday, October 27, 2009 (5:24:15 AM) Thanks for the comments all. As Kyle mentioned, hopefully my comments will be found to be grounded in reality, virtually speaking;). The CampusPodz btw- are at the Cube3 sim in two places, a smaller office for myself is on the water and plainly visible, but the full Campus is at 800m in sky. So look there when visiting:) The whole Product, vs. Platform, vs Service discussion is interesting, but also goes back to all virtual objects like a Film or radio show -recordings as well.-- the content as the "tapes" or "whats on them". Product as I was using it, was a simple issue of a "pre designed wholly complete item or experience" delivered for a customers usage. This is what the "beta or obsolete" mindset must address in dealing with the transformation from a technology demo to a sustainable lasting item. Updateble is one thing, non usable becomes another.:) Nut many have had these ideas after decades of technology intergration into the mainstream business and culture of our lives. Anyhow, I hope what I built can help an ecosystem of professionals using virtual worlds to make our lives in reality better.
