We're happy to welcome Peder Burgaard as a guest blogger on TN this June. We asked Peder to introduce himself to the readers. Here you go:
The last six months I have been on sabbatical from my day job at Innovation Lab, a Danish based think tank on emerging technologies & trends, to study business strategies and virtual world potentials, and have been fortunate to work with IBM’s Metaverse Evangelists in the UK and key personal from the 3D Internet & Virtual Business Opportunity group in the states and various IBMer’s in Second Life, for my masters degree in Information Science at the university of Aarhus, Denmark.
When I am not immersed in the metaverse or working the day job, I am surrounded by context aware audio games on audio augmented children’s playgrounds and is the co-founder and CTO of a startup (stealth mode still) working on a prototype due Q3/Q4 this year (and looking for investments! :-)).
Past experiences have been a very inspirational six months stop at Institute for the Future, Palo Alto, also a think tank on emerging technologies & trends, were I accumulated knowledge on forecasting methodologies and client implementation of future foresights to present insights. I have also had a short period as a contributor at We-Make-Money-Not-Art.com and was guest blogger for the official SuperNova2006 conference blog.
I’ll finish off with a promotion of Innovation Lab’s virtual world conference LifeLike – Virtual Worlds September 26, 2007 where I am program co-Chair. Speakers are still to be announced. Those unable to attend LifeLike in person will not be neglected and can tap into the live webcast from all the conference sessions during the day.
Thanks for joining us, Peder! We're looking forward to some interesting discussions!
