® 2009 CBS Broadcasting Inc. Tomorrow night on NCIS, Forterra's OLIVE virtual world platform will be getting some primetime exposure. Forterra's client  Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Global Services uses OLIVE in its Mirror Worlds application to host Pictometry geospatial data. The main appplication is to create a mirror world for troops and first responders to train and plan for operations. Toward that end, IS&GS built a virtual Long Beach, which the show's investigators fly through.  At least in NCIS, investigators are also using Mirror Worlds to track and analyze data from a crime scene, mapping out movement and actions of people and vehicles. 

IS&GS engineers have integrated Mirror Worlds in NCIS' command center set, and tomorrow night's episode will introduce new characters for an NCIS spin-off next season, so maybe Mirror Worlds will be making a regular appearance. If nothing else, LL Cool J is now at least a pretend virtual worlds user.
