While watching the Project Darkstar videocast by Chris Melissinos I was struck by the business use of the technology. This technology allows true immersion of the physical self into a virtual environment. Perfect for my team here at Sun where several of us are located in Colorado, and a few located here in Northern California. In April, we're traveling to Colorado for a team summit.
With this technology, instead of physically traveling to Colorado, me and my colleague could simply step into a virtual conference room with the other team members and experience meeting "face to face."
The thought of blending your physical and virtual selves brings to mind how your once separate identities can work together to increase efficiency and productivity. With technology like this, my virtual self can do the things my physical self can't: I can fly to Colorado in seconds...My virtual self can be researching new technologies, performing Google searches, compiling documents for my physical self to review later. While I'm sunning at the beach, my virtual self is slaving away over the computer keyboard... what a nice thought.
