About ALCUS InternationalALCUS provides independent consulting services, from strategy through design to implementation, for new media, particularly participatory 3D immersive virtual world environments. We have advised a number of private and Hong Kong government entities on the application of immersive media. On October 30 2010, Claus spoke at TEDxPearlRiver, in Hong Kong, about 3D immersive and game environments in learning. On September 15, 2010, Claus Nehmzow chaired the Asian part of "The Virtual World Conference" (website). The 24 hour conference with speakers and audience from around the world discussed how virtual worlds can change how we learn, work and socialize. The conference delegates and speakers provided extremely positive feedback, e.g. Simon Newstead from Frenzoo in this blog, Brand Hall Research in this blog. Two examples of the high quality of the presentations can be seen in this video of David Piesse's presentation about virtual world applications in the Insurance industry and in Barbara Westmoreland's (CEO nTeams) presentation about immersive collaboration in large companies.
