TONY PARISI SHARES HIS VIEWS ON 3D AND VIRTUAL WORLDS

"TALKING WITH PARISI: THE IMMERSIVE TALKS"

May 17,2010- The 3D online magazine Hiperia3D News proudly presents a series of conversations with one of the driving forces in Web3D. He is an early pioneer in virtual reality, and someone that is admired by many of the 3D community as an example of entrerpreneur, developer and researcher: Tony Parisi.

Tony Parisi was the co-creator of VRML, alongside with Mark Pesce, in 1994. They also made the first VRML browser, Labyrinth. In 1995 he created his own company, Intervista, and as a Chief Technical Officer developed WorldView, the first VRML browser for the PC.

He worked closely with Microsoft, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, Macromedia, and others to make this protocol as much widespread as it was, and is even today, as we see it being used in medical, scientific, and architectural applications, as well as in 3D printing services, visualization and virtual art.

Tony Parisi was also a fundamental mind in the birth of X3D, years later, as main editor of the X3D specification. He also founded Mediamachines and developed the first X3D browser for PC, Flux, and an experimental platform for multiuser X3D worlds, that was the seed of Vivaty, the company that he co-founded.

In Vivaty, he developed the first X3D and COLLADA-based multiuser platform integrated with Facebok.

"I'm sure most of the readers of Hiperia3D News, as anyone involved in 3D and virtual worlds", says Jordi R Cardona, Hiperia3D's editor, "will follow this series as we talk with Parisi about all the topics that always interested us, from the past, present and future of everything related to 3D."

The conversations will be published every Monday at news.hiperia3d.com, starting May 17,2010.
