I’m on the delayed train home from the Serious Virtual Worlds conference at the Serious Games Institute at Coventry University. It’s times like this that I can’t help but contemplate how convenient teleportation would be. Oh to be an avatar…!

The fantastic two-day event was put on by the SGI, many recognisable faces attended (real not virtual) including; Aleks Krotoski (Guardian), Dr Jim Purbick (Linden Labs), Bernard Horan (Sun Microsystems), Norbert Richard Meinike (Metaversum CMO) and it also included many of the of the SGI residents, Daden Limited, Ambient Performances and Concepts Design & Virtualisation.

Twofour have actually just become part of the SGI family, taking up virtual tenancy at the institute. We are very excited to be part of this internationally renowned institute of applied research and the opportunity to work with such influential organisations within the UK Metaverse sphere.

It was a great event with some really passionate and intriguing keynotes by international speakers. However, the highlight of the conference was the dinner put on by David Wortley and Sara de Freitas at the Coombe Abbey. The entertainment to follow will forever be etched into my memory, David Wortley and Jim Purbrick (LL) jamming on Rock Band was truly inspirational.
