Three pioneers: a historic picture
Far as we can determine, these three gentlemen have never been in the same real world place at the same time before.
Dr. Richard Bartle: co-creator of MUD, designer and theorist.
Randy Farmer: co-creator of Habitat, the first graphical world (as well as much more).
Pavel Curtis: the moving force behind LambdaMOO.
That is the three biggest inflection points in the history of virtual worlds, right there. 1978/9, 1985, 1990. If only we had John Taylor and Kelton Flinn here too.
I got pics with myself and with Brian Green in the mix too. Brian is on the pioneers panel with them in a few minutes.
Excellent panel. Probably one of the best I’ve ever watched – er watching. Psychochild just started speaking.
Liveblog of this panel? Video? Anything?
The entire event was streamed (see previous post). I sure it was captured and will be posted up there.
