This talk will describe the development and use of virtual worlds for
a range of practical uses for distributed collaboration and education.
It will show what the University of Edinburgh is doing in this field
with its Virtual University of Edinburgh (Vue) in Second Life and on
the open source OpenSimulator platform. Work on open systems for
virtual collaboration in the OpenVCE.net community and my own work on
intelligent collaboration spaces - I-Rooms - will be covered.
