The story we tell in this blog starts from two experiences. The first one is related to SecondLife recent hype time. In SecondLife, Leeander -as founder of IDEARIUM.ORG- created an island where -since two years- interesting events happens. We sperimented bulding & scripting, but our interest was focused on spreading ideas about Art and Science thought the virtual worlds.

Leeander is an interaction designer and this means that he historically preferred to talk about augmented reality, not immersive spaces. But, now we are living a wireless, multi-touch, eyegaze driven, gesture and voice enabled present. Boundaries have no sense. Mixing is hype.

In this sense, Leeander was deeply interested about SL and worried by constrains of this approach to the metaverse. So he imagined how it could be possible to go a step beyond, and the physical science essay that he started to write was part of the answer.

Our second experience comes from far away. Aaron Brancotti, aka Babele Dunnit, was an italian pioneer in CyberSpace conquering. He worked with all kinds of immersive devices and done all possible hacks, beginning back in 1979 to write software, playing with modems in 1988, and starting to work with that clumsy Virtuality stuff in 1992. Aaron lived an unfinished revolution, and now he is back with his green icosahedral 20 faces to think about this new virtual wave.
