Besides the wonderful thematic recreation, the video conveys many of the early utilities of Google wave.

Here’s the initial concept (using IRC as a communication channel) from Thomas Wrobel:

Bandwidth usage for complex visual or animating objects could be intensive. Current solutions for virtual worlds involve large client databases or rendering software (second life, World of Warcraft). So in all likelihood a rich augmented reality protocol will have some simple defaults, but allow localized users to scale up the visual quality as far as their local devices and databases allow.

You may remember a few months back I posted this video (created with GE’s smart grid tech):

This is an idea to scale that sort of technology to be more generally available to developers, and users.
I’ve inserted a view to the wave that tuned me into the concept this morning:
[wave id="googlewave.com!w+JAcNzz16A"]

And the some more technical information here:
[wave id="googlewave.com!w+hvk2Fj3wB"]

Quick side note: I came across a promising new crowd sourced/filtering site: waverz. Worried about finding relevant and useful public waves? Let waverz gather the filtering results for you.

Then create a public wave:

[wave id="googlewave.com!w+ZZjLgImEV"]

Then get your Wave ID

[wave id="googlewave.com!w+ZZjLgImEY"]

and in your blog post simply type in

I also am embedding my wave reference guide which is likely to grow over the coming weeks:
[wave id="googlewave.com!w+BPfngnK9B"]

Alternate Method Using Javascript

Here’s an alternative method to embed a wave into a page from Bartosz Misiak:

<script src=”http://wave-api.appspot.com/public/embed.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<div id=”waveframe” style=”margin:10px auto;width: 700px; height: 600px”></div>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var wavePanel = new WavePanel(\’http://wave.google.com/wave/\’);
var conf = new WavePanel.UIConfig();
conf.setBgcolor(“#ffffff”);
wavePanel.setUIConfigObject(conf);
wavePanel.loadWave(\’googlewave.com!w+V0z74nNGH\’);
wavePanel.init(document.getElementById(\’waveframe\’));
</script>

Don’t sweat it if you don’t yet have Google Wave access

For those that don’t have access to wave I’ve added the gist of each of the above waves.
More importantly a the waverz site mentioned earlier has an archived site page: Waverz Archive for access to the best parts of wave without the BIG hit to your bandwidth.

Create a public wave:

first go to your contacts and hit the + key at the bottom

then type in: public@a.gwave.com and hit enter

then drag this user and at least one more to a new wave and whala, you’ve made a new public wave.

Would like to create more of these quick tip waves, and potentially link them together in a super wave that helps new wave users get moving fast.

here’s the guide I’m building: Wave Guide: Waves Greatest Hits

Get your public waves ID:

In the URL at the top of your screen contains your wave-id.

for example:

https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BZZjLgImEY

the wave-id is: googlewave.com!w+ZZjLgImEY

removing any trailing characters including a trailing .

Here’s a working example of using the ID on my blog:

Thanks to Ian Norris for his explanation here: Blog test

Ok, so your URL (in chrome) looks like this:

https://wave.google.com/wave/#minimized:nav,minimized:contact,dropdown:search,restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BIsniw_SoA.3

So from that we take everything after the wave: bit like so:

googlewave.com!w%252BIsniw_SoA.3

Then we drop the bit after the dot:

googlewave.com!w%252BIsniw_SoA

and change the %252B to a +

googlewave.com!w+Isniw_SoA

And use that

For an iframe alternative you can use the iframe embed plugin:
Deskera’s plugin
and point to the url of a public wave (I haven’t tested this option yet).
