My name confuses some so let me tell you a bit about me. I've been around 2.5D and 3D virtual worlds since their inception in the 90's after MUDs and MMOs. Yes Virginia, I remember 300 baud modems connected to the university VAX, working in octal on PDP8's, using BBS, exploring Windows 3.0, and of course ARPANET. It all began for me with the TI994A and a cassette recorder for a hard drive LOL until I graduated to BASIC-A and the PCJr while playing Tracer Sanction. 2.5D worlds still exist today but moving into Cybertown and Blaxxun along with Active Worlds brought me into 3D, I've been there ever since.Professionally, I am an Engineer with a well-rounded background who specializes in Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis. I am also into providing Research and Education services with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. However, I spend a lot of time working to advance technologies for Social 3D Virtual Worlds and Social VR applications with a focus on the user experience
