Jon Himoff or Rezzables, who will be a guest on tonight’s big, nerdy Second Life architecture episode, gets the discussion rolling with a discussion on the Rezzables blog:
Virtual World Design Notes — Virtual Experience (VX) is Key
- Visually Impressive = the big scene, surprising, lots of details, not necessarily photo-realistic, but full of meaningful details
- Media Rich = sounds, music, video, slideshows, web content, dynamic data representations
- Interactive = things a user can touch, interact with
- Shared Experience = what can be done in small to larger groups and is essentially more fun than doing alone
- Linear Path = some set of stories, content that a user can follow in a sequence
- Random Discovery = err, well the magic dust of something that make you go “oooooo”
- Foundation = core stuff that support the user visits
Read the rest, and join Jon and ZiffDavisEnterprise‘s John Jainschigg for our interview tonight at 6 pm PT. More details here.
