Next big thing


Green Phosphor
has been showing off its new data interaction technology which allows punters to walk around their database in 3D Green Phosphor's Glasshouse service lets users move around 3D representations of data in virtual worlds and could make virtual world services such as Second Life and Sun’s Wonderland more useful.

Glasshouse works with data from Excel spreadsheets or SQL databases and uses Green Phosphor’s Content Injection and Control Protocol (CICP) to provide the presentation of data across multiple virtual world platforms. Using an avatar data, drill into it, re-sort it, and explore it interactively by walking (or flying) around it. Glasshouse produces graphs that are “avatars” of the data itself.

Currently the outfit is tailoring the system for the use of biotech companies, specifically for drug discovery and development. The company’s beta release provides a client-side Java applet that interfaces between your data and the Green Phosphor CICP Hub that routes the 3D rendition of the data to your target virtual world.
