A conference and art performance event for the hypergrid enabled virtual worlds. Not everyone in Opensim is fluent in English. HIE is a 2 day event where residents speak, in their own languages, about about grids they've made, problems they have overcome, their inventions, experiences, and art. And, so that everyone can follow the talks, there are subtitles in German, French, Italian, Spanish and yes, in English too !

Practice at HIE

Probe- Répétition - Prova 
HIE is about 2 months away, but the fun of rehearsals has already begun!
It's said that 75% of people fear speaking in public! So we salute our performers, and want to give them as much support as possible.  It is also useful for our filming crew to understand how best to set their cameras to make everyone look good!
Presenters need to do quite a bit. they prepare a 20 minute speech, with approximately 10  textures to display in a slideshow. They give the Translation team a document with the main points of their talk, which become the multi-language 'subtitles' that permit everyone to understand the talk.
