China Government to Present Countrywide Virtual World Infrastructure Plans, Invites Partners
The China government is establishing a countrywide infrastructure for virtual worlds deployment. The effort is being lead by China Recreation District (CRD), a joint government-private partnership based in Beijing. One of the goals is to make it easier for all of the possible international virtual world entities to come into China. Chi Tai Robert Lai, Chief Scientist with the Beijing China Recreation District will present details on this new infrastructure on October 11, 2007 at the upcoming Virtual Worlds Conference and Expo in San Jose, CA. "This is a new national approach," Lai said regarding presentation. "We would like to invite all of companies interested in virtual worlds in China to join this infrastructure." In the presentation, CRD will explain the policy, how they are building a national virtual infrastructure, how to integrate industries/enterprises by virtual+real world infrastructure, status of the project and existing plan and partners. Lai presents Thursday, October 11th from 4:30pm - 5:30pm in the Virtual Worlds For the Enterprise track at the conference.
Does this happen to have any correlation to the MindArk/Entropia UNiverse partnership?
