Want to be the Master of the Universe?
Well…what about the master of a metaverse; a virtual world?
Anyone out there been following Second Life? Basically, it’s a virtual universe where one lives, does business, own real estate, exchange information, etc. etc. It probably started out as a game but it’s so much more than that. Real businesses are getting in on it by buying virtual real estate and holding meetings on their virtual properties. Real people are being recruited from there. Products are being bought and sold there.
Do you think avatars and virtual worlds are here to stay?

Xerox researchers are starting to explore the possible opportunities for Xerox in 3-D virtual worlds. Our first experiments will include getting feedback from customers, in fact, dreaming with customers, about the potential of new technology initiatives, exploring smart documents and global collaboration among our researchers worldwide.
