Cyberspace "wonderland" by sun
SUN researcher Nicole Yankelovich presents an open-source 3-dimensional virtual environment, that can do many tricks, including application sharing in a like-VNC way.
Its called project wonderland, and builds on darkstar, an open source gaming server platform. Underneath, there is looking glass, an open source 3d platform.
Its a business-oriented, knowledge-work oriented environment, published open source. Unlike secondlife, which is closed-source and leisure-oriented.
With systems like this and all data represented as RDF on a Semantic Web, using Semantic Desktop applications, users could intuitively place their work in a virtual environment and share their ideas. Looking forward to see how this integrates with Semantic Web.

You may also want to check out the Open Croquet project mentioned in that video (http://www.opencroquet.org/index.php/Main_Page), which is very efficient (P2P-based) and written in Smalltalk/Squeak. Alan Kay was one of the gurus behind it.
Fascinating stuff! Thanks to you and Henry.
