A Virtual World Event
A Virtual World Event
OpenSim is a virtual world platform similar to Second Life.
Unlike Second Life, 'OpenSim' does not refer to one single grid. It is the umbrella term for hundreds of independently owned and operated grids, all of varying size, and style; some commercial, some entirely free, some a mixed economy.
These grids are accessible to each other - you can travel (teleport) from one world to another with your avatar, rather than having to set up a separate account on each grid. Teleporting between grids is called 'hypergridding'.
New to OpenSim? The best way to join us 'in person' at the Hypergrid International Expo, is to open an account on any opensim grid. Already active in OpenSIm? An avatar associated with any hypergrid-enabled grid can be used to get to our venue.
Our address / URI is grid.hgsafari.org:58002:HIE

PERFORMING ARTISTS
Artistic Presentations
Art and visual effects transcend the spoken and written word. That's why this year's event features artistic presentations in each section of the conference.
From dance and poetry to immersive environments, particles and rezzed objects, virtual artists draw the public in, capture their imagination, and gift to us all some unforgettable experiences as we become part of the story they tell through light, color, and movement. Check the Schedule for the day/time of these unique performances.

Argentina
My interest in sci fi began when I was little, I saw the moon landing on the moon on TV... I thought I was there. Today with the creations I make I am making that dream come true. I like to imagine how we would supply ourselves, how to live to space. I like to look at the earth from the moon, it balances my ideas.
An Expo Park surrounds the Auditorium. It is a wooded area covering 3 regions. In the Expo Park, there is a long winding path that weaves its way between the trees, and along this path you will find artwork representing the themes of our event, by Tina Bey.
You will also see about 100 small publicity booths. Each one is a piece of Opensim! These booths represent projects, groups, grids, musicians, builders and artists of many different parts of the Metaverse. Come explore, pick up interesting gifts, Landmarks and Notecards, and learn just how much diversity and imagination Opensim has to offer!
The HIE Team
HIE is organized by a team of five. Each brings a unique skillset and shared enthusiasm for this complex event. There is much to do: Recruit and rehearse our speakers, get the Auditorium & Stage sims ready.
The 'subtitles' are translated into 5 languages, to be shared with the public in Group Chat on the day.
Last but not least, we'll be streaming and filming the whole event.
Film Crew
HIE is broadcast live on YouTube, and after the event, you can watch individual videos of each of the talks and performances. This is possible thanks to our stellar Film crew guided by James Atlloud, Each videographer brings their own style and talent to the event, overcoming the unique challenges of filming in a virtual environment and we thank them for their expertise in making this event memorable in so many ways!
