It's a bird, it's a plane, it's an online video game... NO it is not.
It's Second Life- an online virtual reality genius.
Started in 2003, Second Life offers users the chance to interact with others in a virtual reality like never seen before. Although you can create an avatar that is akin to a zombie or vampire, there are very real and worthy things happening in Second Life.
Online classes just got more interesting. Imagine taking a chemistry class online...before Second Life, not possible... until now, where you can actually perform experiments and see real-world results.
Duran Duran even performed a concert in Second Life. Marriages happen. Monies are exchanged and monies are earned.
As if that wasn't enough to tempt you to look...the creators of Second Life want to tempt you some more. By end of year 2016, they plan to release a new platform: Project Sansar
Project Sansar has high hopes of creating a you tube like version of Second Life, giving the user more freedom to create a virtual reality life and make money. They have high hopes of making the platform user friendly on a variety of computers including smartphones and tablets.
Although I do not have a Second Life account, I am curious and more apt to look into it after researching it. For now, I'll stick with my Sims games and pretend that I'm interacting with humans in a virtual world.
