Well, I am just now in the process of trying to get back to those roots. I didn’t want to say it simply because I’m the first to admit I’m easily distracted by all the other shiny things going on out there; so many fields are doing exciting things right now.

Convergence can be a bitch for the undisciplined like me.

+1 … aerospace is near and dear to my heart, but I’ve not been working in it either. However, if I’d have stayed tightly focused in aerospace, there’d be a whole set of skills I’d be without rather than rusty on – ok very rusty in some cases Besides, now that we can mix things back into the simulation who says we can’t go back to our roots?

A 3D format capable of handling everything from current polymesh data to parametric, history-based “solid” CAD formats is what I’d like to see. Imagine taking a CAD file into an online virtual world like Second Life and doing an FEA while avatars are *using* the virtual model.

Transportation designs where avatars use the virtual model while I’m collecting not just UI information, but fluid dynamics data as well.

This is what I want.

Wish I hadn’t strayed so far from my aerospace roots. If I were currently capable, this is what I’d be pursuing; this kind of interoperability that would be the common denominator for all “Metaverses” as well as offline 3D systems.
