IAmA guy who has helped develop VR/AR concepts for the last 20 years, including early Google Earth, Second Life and Disney. I'm now helping Bing build an open real-time read/write world combining maps and user-media in 3D. AMA.

Tidbits:

  • Co-founded Keyhole in 1999-2001 which later became Google Earth.
  • Wrote the procedural 3D object code for Second Life.
  • Built several Disney VR rides.
  • Neal Stephenson (Snow Crash, etc...) hung out at my first VR start-up and I've been lucky to meet most of my other favorite SF authors (I even tried going 'pro' for a while...).
  • More on the Read/Write World project: www.readwriteworld.net.

[I'll put a "Hello Reddit" in my blog's about page for verification]

EDIT: Thanks for the great questions. I'll answer the top ranked questions I didn't get to monday AM.

[Hiring] Our little ambitious project inside Bing to build a real-time read/write world of "media, maps, and meaning" is ProbablyLookingForSomeoneLikeYou (esp. modern web client, web server, real-time 3D and algorithms). Check us out and apply if interested.

More detail:

We’re looking for creative generalists with deep experience in:

  • games or web-based 3D (UX, real-time, fun factor)
  • web client (e.g., expert Javascript, HTML5 across modern browsers, ajax/web-sockets)
  • web services (think: node.js, cloud, internet-scale five nines, and various DBs like MongoDB, Neo4j, SQL, and LINQ programming)
  • some specialized domain areas relevant to RWW (e.g., graph theory & algorithms, computer vision, machine learning, applied game theory).

See www.readwriteworld.net for more info on the project itself, including some talks and demos we've given.
