XML's 3D Internet Lab takes place in one of the world’s great centers of innovation in Digital Media – Seoul in Korea – to share, learn, and prosper together.
XML Seoul explores virtual worlds, the impact of 3D Internet, and the emerging entertainment, educational, enterpise and social possibilities.
Seoul is the perfect place to share innovations and success stories in these inter-related digital worlds: with Korean contemporary culture (“Hallyu”) still riding a crest of popularity, and world leadership in online worlds (“Cyworld”), as well as mobile services and applications.
-- from X Media Lab Seoul
Chang introduced X Media Lab (XML) on his blog few days ago. And recently, it's been determined that I actually give a keynote speech at the conference!
What will I be talking about? Obviously, I'll be talking about the Virtual/Visual/Social aspect of the 3D/Internet world in Korea! I'm still working on the presentation tomorrow, so if you guys want to come by, feel free to do so!
XML is an amazing conference that's been put together to explore the future directions of media. Where is it going? How is it going to affect culture, business, and the minds of the people? What does it mean to live online and offline?
Those questions will be asked and discussed and answered, starting from tomorrow. I'll follow up with updates on the conference.
Business 2.0 lists up top 12 wired cities that are suited best for business. Obviously, Seoul is one of them. What caught my attention, though, is that 6 out of the 12 cities are Asian cities: Bangalore, Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo. This is what I exactly spotted while over in Singapore. Some serious things are happening over in this half of the world! I'm not sure if all the U.S. cities were dropped out on purpose or the Business 2.0 folks really couldn't find a single U.S. city fit for this.
Some interesting description on Seoul:
Wondering what your cell phone will be like in three years? Head to Seoul, home of electronics giants Samsung and LG and the world's proving grounds for cutting-edge wireless technologies.
Well, I've been writing so much in Korean that I thought maybe taking a 20-min break to write something in English might refresh my hands and thoughts. Ok, back to work!
First Wibro experiment: watching Joost on the bus and on highway
You think I'm kidding, right? No, I'm not. On the way back home from Seoul, I actually watched some Reuters and MTV episodes on Joost.
That's how good Wibro connection seems to be. Good enough for digesting the Joost stream, meaning good enough for most of the applications I know of.
Want a proof? Here it is:
I recorded this with my cellphone and the quality makes me sick. But, come on, this is probably one of the coolest things you could ever do.
More experiments to come. Let's see what happens when ubiquitous meets Web 2.0 :)
p.s. I put a link to this post on the Joost forum and am waiting to see what guys over there have to say. Hopefully this would bring some excitement to them as well.
