What is Cobalt?
Cobalt is an open source virtual world browser and construction toolkit application being developed at Duke University. Cobalt makes it possible for people to easily create, publish, access, and participate in a network of linked virtual worlds. Currently in pre-alpha and built using the Croquet open source software development platform, Cobalt uses peer-based messaging to eliminate the need for virtual world servers and makes it very simple to create and share secure virtual worlds that run on all major operating systems.

Hi Julian
interesting demo
couple of questions
you seemed to be using a mac - drag and drop of resources is similarly enabled in windows?
what do you imagine a lesson with this would actually do?
apart from the fact it looks impressive, what are we learning, apart from manipulating a nice 3d interface?
