Lately, there is a lot of talk about
Second Life, but the debate also focuses on new virtual worlds that are sprouting, 
interconnections among synthetic universes, travels between parallel universes.
Starting from this experience, I devised a new project for Lifelog Studio (www.lifelogstudio.com), the new company I founded with two partners.
This project is the First World Fair of the Virtual Worlds, which will be held in SL and will host tens of stands with representatives of all the main virtual worlds (for example, a dragon will be in the World of W
arcraft stand, while there will be an astronaut in the Entropia Universe stand), which will show the marvels of the place they come from by means of posters and videos.
For each virtual world, a legal counseling service will be offered to open a business, to advertise, to start a commercial or cultural project.
In the First World Fair of the Virtual Worlds there will also be a local tourism section, with representatives of the most original places in Second Life, from Svarga to Nexus Prime.
Another section will be reserved for the real world, which, when seen from Second Life, becomes an additional virtual world. This section will host tourist offices of the real world and real travel agencies, which, in those days, will display posters of the First World Fair of the Worlds.
Finally, there will be a section reserved for tourism places in videogames.
On the side of this initiative, the exhibition “A la recherche du monde perdu: the virtual world of Marcel Proust” will be presented in a
The initiative will be complemented by a Festival of travel videos in the virtual worlds presented on Youtube.
Great! Count me in. How do I register?
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat initiative! There has been talk of bridging VRWs in the past. Nice to see something of this nature transpire.
ReplyDeleteI have video footage of the very first avatar virtual world, if you are interested in presenting historical worlds.

ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in having a booth for Furcadia (www.furcadia.com) in your World Fair if possible. We're just celebrated our 10th anniversary this last December, and we're still growing! You can contact me at felorin at furcadia dot com
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know soon. We are planning it and it will be done in autumn, because we have to prepare it well.
