Collaborative Virtual Worlds

In some of my spare time I’m researching the use of virtual worlds in business and learning.
Currently I am evaluating a tool called Vast Park which is a virtual world platform with lots of collaborative features that allow disparate colleagues to meet and share/edit documents from within a virtual environment.
In the images below you can see me in my first Vast Park virtual world, which I’ve created to be a replica of the Innovation Room in London that the company I work for use to present to clients. In this virtual world I can meet/greet and collaboratively edit office documents or just do a powerpoint or video presentation for people wherever they may be in the world.

Vast Park is .net based and developers can add there only .net extensions, so soon I’m hoping to add extra in-world features.
