Cn you even believe these events actually were Trump supporters and not the creation of the Bernie HQ people looking to create an conversational event and generate traffic.what happens in Vegas stays in vegas what happens in SL never really happened..
Bernie Sanders’ Second Life Headquarters Besieged by Trump-Supporting Swastikas, Demons and 120 Ft. Fireworks-Spewing Donald Trump Statue
Photo of pro-Trump demons besieging Bernie's HQ via Washington Liberals As Donald Trump continues to ride roughshod over much of the United States, there’s multiple reports that Trumps’ virtual fans are riding roughshod on Bernie Sanders’ unofficial headquarters in Second Life as well. Sanders...
I don't know if its a good idea to offer VR and oculus rift to non white young men just more stuff besides iphones will get stolen
VR Industry Leaders Launch Pro-Diversity Non-Profit SHIIFT
SHIIFT is a new non-profit organization conceived to address a pressing problem with the virtual reality industry: A distinct, near-total dearth of people who are not young white men. As I wrote in the WSJ on Monday, I strongly suspect VR will become a niche of the hardcore gamer niche (i.e. m...
I laughed at President Obamas embrace of the science of climate change and the COP 21 agreements. Let's just say if climate change was was LAG how the hell do you say you agree with the science of it and then place freebies,free sex and welcome griefers(although there I guess are some good ones) and encourage younger higher avatar creators with multiple accounts all on the same sim!
Donald Trump Mansion & Campaign Headquarters in Second Life Owned by Literal Anime Character
I told you about the Second Life recreation of Donald Trump's Florida mansion with a virtual wall last month, and now roving metaverse furry reporter (yes that's an actual thing) Bixyl Shuftan has more to that story: The mansion is owned by SL user JP Laszlo, who as you can see, is an anime ch...
Maybe its complete with a turbine windmill to generate undistributable energy to sell to England, you could say its like England paying Scots for two thousand tickets for a SL sim party and you know how that would turn out, maybe RFL and the ACA will host a benefit to erect a lockerbie bomber memorial.maybe theres a new petition by the self promoting Aberdeen old rock chick,venue hustler wannabe writer Suzanne Kelly to ban Trump from his own virtual mansion as long as it makes traffic for them no harm done parliment won't vote on it,they dare not after all the terrorist attacks the world its self keeps proving Trump right.The liberals are probably best keep in a virtual playground in a sandbox where their inept and destructive policys can be cleaned every few hours.
Someone Recreates Virtual Version of Donald Trump's Mansion in Second Life, Complete With Virtual Wall
A Scottish political activist and feminist has been exploring Second Life in search of virtual headquarters for real US political candidates, so when Ysabelle Stewart found a recreation of Donald Trump's Florida mansion, naturally I had to see it for my (avatar) self: There it stood in all its...
Some stuff doesn't look good made from Mesh for instance rustic buildings. Mesh looks as if everything is made from vinyl siding.
Will People Really Miss Their Old SL Inventory When Project Sansar Launches? (Comment of the Day)
Many SLers complain that their non-mesh inventory (probably) won't transfer over to Project Sansar, but Cube Republic made a provocative point on that: "Why do folk go on about their inventory so much? There's events in-world every week punting new stuff. What I'm getting at is the acquisition o...
The trick to mass market may not prove so much the platforms but the glue that integrates useful devices. My desk is not really enhanced by the printer sitting there but it is useful and cannot be replaced for certain situations. With 3D printing becoming less expensive many people will find augmented reality much better for interacting and viewing 3d objects before producing them then a myopic immersive possibly more difficult to calibrate and synchronize immersive platfom may be..
Google Glass is Dead, Long Live (Die?) Microsoft HoloLens
Augmented reality meets the big MS: First take: Somehow, a major tech company managed to make a pair of smart glasses look even lamer than Google Glass. Second take: Microsoft will struggle with most or all of the social stigmas that made Glass such a Daily Show-worthy laughing stock that it wa...
All those top placed locations in destinations guide promoting tribute bands and selling fashion most likely "inspired" from real life designers with no shortage of creative photographers visiting them and posting to flickr will become more selective...LOL
Dear Second Life: Morphed Avatar Images Have Absolutely No Place on Your Facebook Page [UPDATE: LL Responds]
Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Morphed" Second Life snapshots have no business in advertising. They shouldn't be on vendors, they shouldn't be in product ads, and they absolutely shouldn't be on Secon...
For all the talk about using Sl as a educational platform in the time I've spent in SL I can't say I saw much justification for this. For the most part it appeared it was used as a place for the educational community to meet and talk about what a wonderful educational environment SL was or could be but but little evidence there were any sims that were built that could impress a classroom of kids that are exposed to video games on a daily basis with better graphics and performance.Most of the educators I've met didn't possess the skills themselves to build, came without a budget to hire or thought they could just learn it as they went along and without clear objectives or a clear vision of what was to be accomplished.
Former Linden Educator's Advice to Linden's Current CEO
John Lester, formerly Linden Lab's virtual education evangelist, has some good advice for Ebbe Altberg, currently Linden Lab's CEO, who's reaching out to educators still interested in Second Life: [I]t’s not just about collecting technical requirements and reading submitted feedback when you h...
