Hi Kiran,

In some ways, that is exactly what we are after - a replicated
simulation environment. The basis of this approach is that collaboration
between people is a persistent process, not a discrete event. Croquet
allows the user to create a replicated shared environment where there is
a guarantee that any objects and simulations in the environment are
identical for all the users of this space. The intent is to foster
collaboration using this replicated computation. What we want to do is
create a broadband communication channel that goes well beyond simply
text, voice, or even video - but allows the user to express and share
even complex ideas via the simulation.

We have a great interest in integrating existing media into Croquet, but
see this as an extension to the primary goal of fostering deep
collaboration.

Do we have to restrict croquet for modelling and simulations and use the existing RDS solutions to colloborate with other non-croquet applications..Whats the business value in going for Croquet?
