As I said in class, while I think virtual worlds will be more prominent in our lives in the future, the energy in our field right now is more focused on mobile technology and other topics. All these videos are a bit dated, but they give you a sense of virtual worlds, especially Second Life.
- This is a promotional video produced by Linden Labs, which operates Second Life.
- This is a 4" video about the economy in Second Life. Posted in 2007, it gives a sense of the excitement surrounding Second Life at this time.
- This is a 2006 video about the Second Life efforts of Text 100, a global PR firm that specializes in technology. (The firm also has internships.)
- Here is short video about a medical school using Second Life for nursing training.
- And here is a New York Times article about avatars in virtual conferencing.
