At the Mindshop conference in May 2008 I mentioned in my seminar that the world of virtual online lives as represented by Second Life may be beginning to climb the slope of enlightenment as per the Gartner Emerging technology model. See http://www.buaconsulting.com/emerging-tech
I believe this is being borne out with the emergence of browser based virtual reality solutions. This allows people to build virtual environments on their own websites and I believe this could lead to these solutions becoming more mainstream. Solutions are currently available through among others, www.vivaty.com and Google has an offering called Lively.
Bua Consulting has a virtual seminar room which we are currently testing - it is built on the Google Lively product which is currently in Beta testing - depending on ongong reliability we are looking at running some virtual seminars and networking evenings in the coming months. If you are interested in attending please let us know - we are currently compiling a list of prospective attendees
