Joint PR statement
We are pleased to announce that a license agreement has been reached between Learning Sites (http://www.learningsites.com/) and MellaniuM (http://www.mellanium.co.uk/) with the purpose of importing one of Learning Sites virtual worlds into the web.alive/Unreal platform for eventual immersive global collaborations. The first Learning Sites virtual world to make the transition will be the Vari House (a 4th c. BCE Hellenistic beekeeper's house in Attica,Greece).
The Vari House was excavated in the 1960s, and the 3D computer models developed by Learning Sites became a pioneering virtual world for inter

active education in the late-1990s. It seemed appropriate that this well-known package become the first test case of the new partnership. Learning Sites has been an international leader in innovative digitally reconstructed ancient worlds for interactive education, research, museum display, broadcast, tourism, and publication.
With a feature set designed originally for the enterprise, web.alive is a web browser plug-in that integrates with an existing network, security, and business applications to enhance communications, collaboration, and employee or consumer engagement. In this way, web.alive minimizes operational overhead, dramatically increases accessibility to users, and delivers face-to-face interaction at the low cost of Web collaboration. Avaya web.alive represents the future of communications and offers the best of publicly and privately accessible immersive Web
conferencing.
MellaniuM has leveraged this platform to produce unique and innovative environments scaled to up to 10 km. square containing very high-polygon models. These environments can be developed either from existing 3D mesh models compiled from 3D modeling packages or from geo-referenced terrain maps using the latest UAV scanning techniques. For example, it is entirely possible to create accurately scaled simulations of long-gone masterpieces of the Industrial Revolution or entire archaeological sites, as we hope this partnership will demonstrate.
