I think that you are aware that I always make a point of visiting the Innovations Lab while at Lotusphere. It is an amazing look at the possible future and uses of software from various areas within IBM Research. One of the things that was being demonstrated at Lotusphere 2009 was Sametime 3D. Now comes word that it is being released to selected clients (from a forthcoming IBM News Release):
I really didn't think it was that close to release when I saw it at Lotusphere, which means that I didn't ask the right questions. However, it is very cool to know that Lotusphere delegates were able to see the demo and talk with the developers of Sametime 3D, while visiting the Innovations Lab. Once the News Release has been posted, I will link to it. But here is a video that shows the newly released Sametime 3D:

IBM is now allowing selected clients test Sametime 3D, a new tool which will let business colleagues not only exchange instant messages and chat verbally, but also share presentations and ideas in private, prefabricated, reusable meeting spaces located in a variety of virtual worlds. These spaces will allow participants to, literally, throw ideas on the wall during a meeting to "see what sticks," and to vote on, organize, and save the most promising proposals. Avatars can make presentations to one another, socialize, debate, or, literally, examine ideas and 3D objects from all angles.
IBM's new software enables groups based in different locations to meet on a regular, periodic or impromptu basis in these virtual worlds. With this new software tool, IBM is providing several reusable meeting spaces, including a theater-style amphitheatre, a boardroom and a collaboration space which can each be used for impromptu or scheduled brainstorming sessions, status updates, town hall-style meetings, rehearsals, training classes, and more.
