This is more than likely due to public disappointment, further due to the high expectations created by media sensationalisation.Early applications mainly fell into the vehicle simulator category and were used in training exercises.Thankfully, virtual reality lives on in popular culture as a heavy influence on many consumer products that are in use today. These range from games to revolutionary input devices.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352963813331852324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35569359.post-30537757949959535852013-06-16T14:10:24.596-04:002013-06-16T14:10:24.596-04:00A company built on providing you, the merchant, wi...A company built on providing you, the merchant, with technologically advance, easy to use and cost effective point of sale solutions.

Tus reflexiones son más de lo que tengo y lo que soy... son más de lo que espero y lo que doy...<br />En realidad esto que hago me hace saldar una deuda con el ser humano, con el mundo, con Dios... me permite satisfacer un compromiso con ese Jago que se esconde del otro lado del rostro y que muy pocas personas logran llegar a conocer...<br />FLORA fue mi primer premio nacional de periodismo... Lo obtuve en 2003 (si la memoria no me engaña) en el concurso "26 de Julio" uno que reúne y honra a los consagrados en mi país... para mí y el equipo de trabajo fue una experiencia gratificante... fue como nuestra Opera Prima… sin ellos no hubiera sido posible...<br />Mi reto inmediato es atrapar en imagen y sonido esas historias aparentemente sencillas, cotidianas, de la frontera que nos acercan a los postulados de lo real maravilloso advertido por el maestro Alejo Carpentier...<br />Otra vez te agradezco porque sabes que no me gusta ir con arpa y salterio haciendo ruido delante de mí para llamar la atención sobre lo que hago. La obra de un equipo de creadores tiene su propio mérito, habla por sí sola porque cobra vida… y ante eso no tengo más que quitarme el sombrero.Jago Molinethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100903679895220112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35569359.post-59515554386142967822011-08-22T01:14:33.889-04:002011-08-22T01:14:33.889-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jago Molinethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100903679895220112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35569359.post-44102246303610510302011-08-13T16:38:48.492-04:002011-08-13T16:38:48.492-04:00Fantastico, Jago.

They are so enriching because we get to discuss, read, write, listen to others. It's as if while at the Smithsonian LVM workshops we are being active poets, poets at our best, which includes what I think is a crucial part of being a poet--participating in the writing community, being generous in it, being open to learn from others, to give. <br /><br />¡Que siga la poesía en este grupo lindísimo!Laura Cesarco Eglinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859264349680873137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35569359.post-89785189593539230942011-04-12T10:27:15.599-04:002011-04-12T10:27:15.599-04:00I concur.

I have always been hesitant to write a "love poem", to carry it through without falling into the mundane. Love is so dimensional and layered, and therein is the key-- it's a sort of peeling, peeling away words until one finds the words that bare it all. <br /><br />And yes, this is a community. It has added another dimension to my writing, to the way I perceive life and language. This community is really a "thinking out of the box".

I love the idea of a museum without walls, culture at our fingers and at our leisure. <br /><br />The avatar experience has forced me think of how I perceive myself. It has given me a glimpse into my "inner" self as I go about the business of choosing clothes and features for my avatar. I have to say, I really enjoy this other dimension of myself that for the most part, had remained unexplored. <br /><br />Great article!

As a museum without walls online, LVM formulates a new paradigm accessible to all by the click of a mouse allowing visitors to see, hear and interact in an engaging way. The possibilities for community creation are endless due to the inherit tech structure of virtual worlds and avatars.<br /><br />Ideas of presence, relevance and access that LVM Creative Director Melissa Carrillo mentions below, have been critical to our vision and our work at LVM. Of course, the Smithsonian counts with a growing collection of U.S. Latino related art, artifacts, and archival collections, but there is no dedicated physical space that bring together these collections as they are currently found among the permanent collections of its 19 museums and research centers. LVM provides the unprecedented opportunity to create a presence of Latino collections in one single virtual space. The contextualization of these collections in their historical moments and geographical areas are critical to create community and to explore identity in a museum that follows a model of forum rather than temple of culture.<br /><br />This idea of forum is what you encounter at LVM. Identity and cultural identity are fluid constructs that are constantly evolving and changing just as technology itself. Periodically we go through processes of transculturation as we are exposed on a daily basis to change in our own environments and habitats by media, by personal interactions, by listening to other perspectives. We take from others, we bring our own and we put the two together into something richer and novel. Or from a global point of view we do the selecting, adapting and reinterpreting of new forms of experiences and we incorporate them into our local everyday life and self. In virtual world environment, avatars allow us to live those experiences and adapt through our gaze our own selves. We see our identities reflected in what we choose the avatar to be, how to dress, how to interact with others, to act, to run, to walk, to stand, to fly. <br /><br />And this forum model creates community and access. LVM educational events and environments become only richer because of the contributions of all by sharing meanings and experiences and adapting them to our own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35569359.post-2712395633676575382011-03-21T17:34:03.403-04:002011-03-21T17:34:03.403-04:00Yes thank you Maria and to all our participants!
