Second Life to Pay $10,000 for Improvement of Real Life The applications are accepted starting today so if you already have an inworld project that you think will meet the requirements of the contest you may send the application right away. But bright ideas without implementations are not too much of an obstacle as the applications will be accepted until mid-January so Second Life users still have time to turn their ideas into reality… well, virtual reality. The winner will be announced by the jury until the end of April.

Central Grid Connecting Virtual Worlds

Creating a Web of Worlds With Metaplace, designers can build worlds using a markup language, style sheets, modules, and a scripting language. Every world acts like a Web server, Koster says, and every object in a world has a URL. What this means for users of these worlds is that they can move seamlessly from the rest of the Web into the virtual world and back again, he says. A user can browse to any object in a Metaplace world from outside, and every object can be linked to the rest of the Web and exchange information with Web services. With this architecture, Koster says, he plans for users to be able to build worlds with games as simple as a two-dimensional Tetris game, or as complex as the World of Warcraft, a massive, multiplayer, online role-playing game. Users might also build widgets, such as a virtual weatherman who could deliver the latest news from weather.com, or a Coke machine that gives them a real-world coupon whenever they drink a virtual Coke.

"This capability will facilitate communication, collaboration, play and dynamic interaction with others in virtual worlds and MMO games." Advanced personalization could spur increased interest in massively multiplayer online games and virtual worlds like Second Life while moving the technology beyond the realm of pure entertainment. "Having your 2-D picture on Facebook.com just scratches the surface of what's possible now with online socialization," said Jerry Heneghan, CEO of " serious game " developer Virtual Heroes, which partnered with several other companies to put together the virtual jam session for Otellini's keynote.

Intel to Push Virtual Environments in CES Keynote Just Leap In is avoiding the advertising model, which Griffin says was a decision from the start. The company is working on developing premium services as well as a virtual economy for alternate revenue sources. The basic experience, though, will always remain free to use. “We’re trying to build a mix of models that we’ve seen work in both social media sites and virtual worlds,” said Griffin.
