The ThinkBalm Innovation Community is a professional community with a mission of advancing adoption of work-related use of the Immersive Internet (e.g., virtual worlds and campuses, virtual event platforms, immersive learning environments, and 3D collaboration tools). The ThinkBalm Innovation Community is run by industry analysts Erica Driver and Sam Driver of ThinkBalm. Since its launch in August of 2008, the community has evolved into a mix between a social network, collaborative laboratory, and guild. Community activities focus on work-related use cases like meetings, learning, conferences, business activity rehearsal, prototyping, data visualization, system and facility management, and human resources management. The community has held dozens of immersive and in-person events including brainstorming sessions, role-playing sessions, “un-lectures” (four presentations, tours, or demos in an hour), tours, meet-and-greets, and professional networking events.
