Avatar!
| The movie
Avatar is a spectacular introduction to
the idea of virtual environments. The word
Avatar goes as far back as 500 BC. It is
from Hinduism and is translated as
appearance. In the 1990's, the word
became an accepted term referring to
online virtual bodies in computers and on
the web. Twenty years later, the idea
of virtual reality can still be difficult to
grasp. The movie uses special effects to
convincingly introduce us to the idea of
projecting ourselves, literally, into
another body in another world. The popular
response to the movie shows that people are
drawn to the idea of virtual as well as real
life. Experts project that four out of
five Internet users will have Virtual ID's
by the end of 2011. |

The ability to provide innovative and creative solutions

By sponsoring Second Life® activity we have received
increased media coverage and additional exposure in a
cost effective manner. We can deliver our message more
widely. It is straight forward to deal with and has a
large audience. Work with someone who knows Second Life
- the knowledge and expertise of a partner will be
invaluable |
