Hi Clark,
Sounds like you watched the Croquet presentation. :)
Croquet provides nearly all of these in one continuous, consistent 3D environment, only its MMP is peer to peer. The presentation shows how these work together seamlessly (including spatial aware conference-call audio) where Julian is on Windows XP and Preston is on a Mac.
Here's the presentation for others:
"Julian Lombardi and Preston Austin gave a presentation (October 13th, 2005) on the Croquet Project at an event sponsored by Accelerate Madison, a premier Wisconsin-based networking and business support organization focused on information technology issues. ( here )"
Thanks Socinian. That's an eye-opener. Almost too good to be true. Croquet opens up a world of possibilities for dynamic training strategies that the rest of us will have to begin to imagine.
Thanks again.
I should add that it's even better than a flipchart... and contains most -- but perhaps not all -- of a flipchart's functionality!
