Why use 3D for Meetings?
It's supposed to be dry all week, there's no snow to fight with, the disc golf holes are present, and Saturday's forecast is for sunshine and a high of 46.  So let's play disc golf!


Meetings are about people getting together to do things - with 3D meetings you see all the others as avatars throughout the meeting.  
Meet outside the RCTC field house, 2 pm.  Here is [http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=217033483939111930234.0004a3795f42da701ae0b&msa=0&ll=44.015742,-92.422206&spn=0.003541,0.006942&iwloc=0004a37962daae4746296 a map].


Social interactions are more natural with avatars. The expressiveness of avatars help co-workers communicate in a natural and personal way that helps them get to know each other - leading to more trust and better collaboration.


Work in 3D. Organize in 3D, build in 3D, present and interact in 3D
