I ran across this while reading the Metaverse Messnger (http://www.metaversemessenger.com/), so I guess advertising does work.
You go into Second Life. You become virtual and leave RL trappings behind. You are divorced from the physical you. And you’re bored.
So what do you do? Go into a holodeck and become virtual once removed. This sounded bizarre at first. But reading on, the possibilities caught my imagination.
It can get boring shoppoing for furniture in SL malls, with pictures on the walls or nicely organized but sterile floor models. Why not shop in a holodeck where you can dial up a room and see what a roomful of fucrniture would look like including lamplight hitting the wall and artwork.
Have a single meeting space that could be for serious business today, and for an artsy get-together tomorrow. And a zen garden for quiet contemplation at the touch of a button.
Renting properties? Put a holodec instead of ads in an SL mall. Let visitors “try out” the dwellings without having to teleport.
Hmmm…maybe I need to get one!
