MetaVerse : Virtual Reality tools for Reality Mining
Virtual Reality Technologies can offer Reality Mining Tools when extended to real life situations.
About Complex Event Processing Systems
CEP Complex Event Processing Principle :
An introduction to Complex event processing networks (from Stanford university).
A Time Line representation (from MIT Institue)
Google Earth and similar applications
In Google Earth, models are realistic real world models.. Mostly models of the natural and physical world.
Real Time Traffic
Earth Temperature Monitor
Other Virtual Reality Technologies
Second Life
In Second Life , the natural and physical systems of the planet will be represented . Thanks to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA). Dubbed Meteora, the Earth System Research Lab could become a 3-D laboratory as well as an open meeting place for scientific symposia. Second Life has also a new search engine : Sloog
Digital Earth
Digital Earth was the label given to a visionary concept, made popular in 1998 by former US vice president Al Gore, for describing a virtual representation of the Earth on the Internet that is spatially referenced and interconnected with the world’s digital knowledge archives. Keyhole Technology, Inc. (later purchased in 2004 by Google for Google Maps) was contracted to develop and demonstrate the first full globe 3-D interactive Digital Earth using web-stream data from distributed database located on servers around the planet. A concerted effort within the UN community through the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), via the Geographic Information Working Group (UNGIWG), followed immediately, including purchase of early Keyhole systems by 2002. Today, Digital Earth is an international collaboration project, and China wants to play a major role forming a non-profit entity from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to host the international secretariat of the International Society on Digital Earth
The MetaVerse RoadMap
The MetaVerse project is a World Wide Collaborative Virtual Reality Project.
Virtual's Worlds Inputs are solicited in four topic areas: I. Industry Conditions, II. Forecasts, III. Issues and Questions, and IV. Problems and Indicators. These were divided into nineteen categories, from History to Progress Indicators. Each was also considered in three subcategories: A. Technology and Science, B. Business and Economics, or C. Social, Legal and Other domains. This is an adaptation of the Foresight Framework Model of Dr. Peter Bishop, chair of the Futures Studies masters program at the University of Houston .
