Each user within the environm ent is represented by their virtual self wh ich is referred to as an avatar. The virtual environment can be a processing plant, an offshore platform, an oilfield or any environment that one wishes to create.\r\n \ r\n \r\n \r\n This presentation will discuss applications of virtual wo rld technologies in three topical themes:\r\n \r\n \r\n No other way to do it &ndash\;for example, it is not possible to have realistic enactment of an explosion and fire on an offshore platform with the ensuing chaos. However, this technology can provide realistic simulation taking into acc ount human behavior which cannot be accomplished any other way.\r\n \r\n Application to operations and maintenance.\r\n \r\n Does this make se nse? There are places where one could apply virtual world technology but does it make sense?\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n It is the author&rsquo\;s i ntent to use the presentation material as a means of having a discussion a round this topic. This presentation will not discuss the intersection bet ween virtual world technology, complex simulation and augmented reality.\r \n\r\n\n\n--- This iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.Event details subject to change. ---\r\n\r\n--- By Tendenci - The Open Source AMS for A ssociations ---\r\n UID:uid1693@spegcs.org SUMMARY:Digital Energy: Virtual World Technologies – Applications to the Digital Oilfield DTSTART:20110518T163000Z DTEND:20110518T180000Z CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20240328T171939Z TRANSP:OPAQUE SEQUENCE:0 LOCATION:Courtyard on St James X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
