Activeworlds CEO Speaks At Harvard Graduate School of Design @ [3/7/2000 2:35:14 PM] by: Activeworlds Press

In a step to further its commitment to education, Activeworlds.com, Inc.'s CEO, Rick Noll, met yesterday with a group of students from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. At the university's invitation, Mr. Noll guided the students through a hands-on look at the practical applications of virtual reality in education and business.

The discussion included details of using the Activeworlds software as a solution for viewing complex architectural models and site plans in a collaborative environment.

"We are honored by this invitation to discuss with graduate students how they might use 3D internet technology to their benefit. The ability to visualize a complete site in a realtime three dimensional environment that can be shared over the internet is a boon to designers and architects alike, " said Rick Noll, "Projects can actually be worked on in a shared space with other designers and engineers so that a fuller understanding of all the complex details can result. Activeworlds allows for this kind of visualization and can be shared with the community in which the construction will take place."

Harvard joins over a hundred educational institutions worldwide, including Cornell, University of California, and the University of London in pursuing using Active Worlds as part of their educational curricula.
