MPK20 received an "honorable mention" in Computerworld's Horizon Awards "10 Cool Cutting Edge Technologies":
What it does: MPK20 is a virtual 3-D environment in which remote employees can accomplish work, share documents and meet with colleagues using natural voice communication. Based on a Java-based game engine for creating a virtual world, MPK is an abbreviation for Menlo Park (Sun's physical campus). The MPK20 software is built on top of Sun Labs' Project Darkstar infrastructure -- a server platform designed for multiplayer games.
