The Future - Second Life | Visit |
The future? Well not really but definitely an advancement in what can happen on the web. From clothing design to virtual building designs to new ways to interact socially virtual worlds like Second Life give us a glimpse of what using the web will be like in years to come. Its a bit like a screen version of Star Trek's holodeck. The Metaverse is a fictional virtual world, described in Neal Stephenson's 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash, where humans, as avatars, interact with each other and software agents, in a three-dimensional space that uses the metaphor of the real world. The word metaverse is a compound of the words "meta" and "universe".
In 2003, the online three-dimensional virtual world Second Life was launched by Linden Lab. The stated goal of the project is to create a user-defined world like the Metaverse in which people can interact, play, do business (using the virtual currency Linden Dollars, also purchasable with real money) and otherwise communicate. - Wikipedia
We have been doing a bit of exploration in Second Life (SL) here at Artotems Co. You can see a bit of that below. The basic process for getting started is easy and free. You join - choose an avatar to represent yourself - and are taken to the Welcome Center where your adventures begin. Second Life has the distinction of having attracted large and small businesses as well as Universities from all over the world. This adds a serious level to SL that gives it more credibility. Despite that essentially SL is still about meeting and chatting with people from all over the world. The residents of SL are a composite of the real world. Hence you run into people who have good intentions and some who have bad intentions. Our excursion began because of a radio program broadcast on National Public radio called Science Friday. The show is broadcast live inside SL with the host avatar present as well as a large crowd of listeners present as avatars as well. The experience is quite interesting and speaks clearly to the future of the Internet and its virtual world capacity. Experiencing the show as if you are there is definitely a more immersive experience. So want to visit Kyoto or a Mayan Temple? Its easy just search and teleport yourself there. You never know you may find an Artotems Co. person waiting for you. Say hello if you do.

Second Life Feature - The Gion Project | Visit |
Artotems社は自信を持ってGion Project (祇園プロジェクト)をお奨めいたします。Gion Project はその設計においてセカンドライフ屈指のSIMです。 The Gion Project is a stunning recreation of the Gion district in Kyoto, Japan within Second Life. The video below presents a new season in Gion with the blooming of the cherry trees. Spring has arrived in the virtual place of Gion. If you are a Second Life resident don'd miss this wonderful simulation. Its owner and producer Sammy Biddle will welcome you. You can explore its streets and attractions and even take a dip in the beautiful hot spings located in the mountain area above Gion. Gion is a place of great design, talented creators and a real sense of serenty. The experience is vitual what it evokes inside you is not. Sammy is a dedicated and talented person and when you stop by tell her Artotem sent you and don't forget to pick up a free Kimono as well as other free gifts she graciously provides. Don't miss this special place. Best, C. Tucker | |

Machinima - Making Movies in a Second Life | |
Machinima (pronounced /məˈʃiːnəmə/ or /məˈʃɪnəmə/), a portmanteau of machine cinema, is a collection of associated production techniques whereby computer-generated imagery (CGI) is rendered using real-time, interactive 3-D engines, such as those of games, instead of professional 3D animation software. In June 2000, Roger Ebert called it an "extraordinary" new art form and praised Strange Company's machinima setting of Percy Bysshe Shelley's sonnet "Ozymandias". - Wikipedia Want to try your own hand at movie making in Second Life?
