The next meeting of L.A. Metaverse — a Los Angeles-based group that meets monthly to explore virtual worlds, virtual reality, virtual games, and related technology — happens Monday, January 6th, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the Figueroa Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Founder and host Gavin Doughtie writes:
This month, we will be discussing The New Science of Networks as
described in Albert-Laszlo Barabasi's book "Linked."Seemingly removed from virtual reality and games, recent research in the
way networks grow and change may turn out to be critical in
understanding how to build and operate virtual environments of all kinds.I will present an overview of modern network theory (scale-free,
small-world, winner-take-all and more) and then we'll spend the evening
chatting about it.
I hear great things about Gavin's meetings at the Figueroa from VR junkies who've attend past editions — so consider Monday evening's event highly recommended!
