Alan Kay and David A. Smith demonstrate the Croquet Project, an early collaborative 3D virtual world system built on Smalltalk.

This is an early demo of the Croquet Project from 2003! It was the demo that Alan Kay and I performed at the O'Reilly E-tech conference. It was totally live - and pretty wild. A lot of important ideas are demonstrated here including portals, replicated computation, and deep collaboration. This system was built by Andreas Raab, David Reed, Alan Kay and David A Smith.
