Creating great public spaces in Second Life and other virtual worlds requires bending the rules of real-life architecture and adding a little bit of magic. Buiders want to create theaters, business areas, entertainment exhibits and other places that capture visitors’ imaginations and make them want to come back again and again.
Two of the best builders in Second Life shared their secrets with us:
Jon Himoff is CEO and founder of of Rezzable, which built the Greenies in Second Life, as well as the King Tut exhibit on Heritage Key.
And John Jainschigg of ZiffDavisEnterprise created a variety of areas for real-life businesses in Second Life.
Jon and John talked about getting around the technical limitations of Second Life, the difficulty of finding business models that work, and the outlook for virtual worlds five years in the future and beyond.
