VenueGen Announces 3D Meetings for "Everyone"

Virtual world provider, VenueGen, recently came out of private Beta to a public Beta (whatever that means) and loudly announced their virtual meeting platform.

They call it both visually appealing and easy to use. It has been described as a lot more than Cisco’s WebEx meeting platform, and a lot less than Linden Labs’ Second Life virtual world.

An interesting as aspect of the platform is that you can create a 3D avatar by loading a picture of yourself and the avatar will tend to look like you as shown above.

To get started in VenueGen, you don't need a download. You just need a browser. And a minimal amount of cash. VenueGen will charge subscription fees of $90 per month for all meetings up to 10 users. If you want meetings for up to 25 people, you have to pay up to $490 per month. For 55 people, it costs $990 per month.

Interestingly, the market for 3D virtual learning spaces for corporations is estimated by Research 2.0 to grow to $8 billion in annual revenues in 2014. So it is predicted to gain momentum.

Check out an interview done with VenueGen CEO to see the platform in action for yourself.
