IBM Research has announced it's set to unveil its Bluegrass project, with which it hopes to marry software development with virtual worlds, adding 3D functionality modeled after Second Life. The aim is to help developers work together as avatars in virtual environments, sharing representations of data and discussing ideas.
It's currently a research effort, theorized to be useful to younger workers more accustomed to virtualization and Web 2.0-style communications. According to InfoWorld, IBM will offer the first peek at the technology at Orlando's upcoming Lotusphere conference, while Second Life residents can check it out at the IBM Codestation kiosk in world.

I've emailed IBM with regards the kiosks that are supposed to be available at Codestation - I'm assuming they'll unveil at the same time as the Lotusnotes conference?
