[GAMBIT-UROPS-summon] Friday 4pm at GAMBIT 5/20/11 - Jibe demo from ReactionGrid

[Philip Tan]

Friday Games at GAMBIT is ending for the semester, we'll see you in the
fall. To end the series, we have a guest presentation from Chris Hart (CTO)
and John Lester (Director of Community Development) from
ReactionGrid<http://reactiongrid.com/>!
They will be presenting a live demo and overview of *Jibe*, focusing on how
it can be used by game developers interested in creating multiuser 3d
environments.

The talk will start at 4pm Eastern Time at the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game
Lab, and will be simultaneously livestreamed at http://gambit.mit.edu/live.

Here are some more details about Jibe and what you can expect from the talk:

*Jibe* is a multiuser virtual world development platform from ReactionGrid.
The Jibe platform is an extensible architecture that uses a middleware
abstraction layer to communicate with multiple backend systems (currently
SmartFox & Photon) and frontends (currently Unity3D, ready for WebGL).
Current deployments of Jibe worlds utilize the Unity3D web plugin, with iOS
and Android support under development.

Additional features include customizable 3D avatars, private/public text
chat, Vivox voice integration, hooks for Augmented
Reality/SCADA/robotics/telemetry applications, a built-in registration
database, detailed logging of inworld events and user tracking, and the
ability to integrate with preexisting user registration systems (including
FacebookConnect). Jibe platforms can be hosted by ReactionGrid or deployed
on your own servers.
