In our humble apology department, we've been remiss on not getting around to doing this interview earlier. CJ Carnot (aka CJ Holden) and Stella Costello (aka Beth Sactjen) have been the master builders for NMC Virtual Worlds projects for a long time, and we have yet to nail them down to talk about the work they do. So we grabbed some of their time today to talk about work on our home base of NMC Campus.

This was not only taking place in a gorgeuos real world facility, Princeton's Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall, but was also live streamed to a remote audience gathered in the ... more » »
