Davos Open Forum 2008 - Virtual Worlds - Fiction or Reality?Jan 19, 2012 www.weforum.org 26.01.2008 Open Forum - Virtual Worlds - Fiction or Reality? Second Life is one of the new ways of extending life to the virtual space, for example, allowing us to attend Wimbledon while standing next to one of the players or living out our social desires anonymously without restraints or risk of sanctions. More and more people are turning to virtual reality to establish who they are, what they know, who they interact with and how. This will influence how society is structured in the future and how real or fictive this virtual world will be. 1) In the context of the virtual worlds we are creating, what is the difference between fiction and reality? 2) With the ease of access to these virtual worlds, how do different generations react? 3) How does this world of immediate access, limitless social skills and unrestrained behaviour influence our moral framework? 4) Should the focus be on the technological or human side of progress?

"Second Life" Virtual Reality Pedo MatrixDec 25, 2011 Imagine 100 years from now, what this game might be like. Notice the Logo? Looks a lot like the all seeing eye to me. But hey, I'm sure it's just a harmless video game, right? You be the Judge Second Life (SL) is a virtual world developed by Linden Lab launched on June 23, 2003, and is accessible on the Internet. A free client program called the Viewer enables its users, called Residents, to interact with each other through avatars.

Aurasma Virtual Browser and virtual world hands-onJan 13, 2012 Watching Aurasma in action is very impressive, it is tech that looks like magic. Aurasma is software that picks out objects, shapes, symbols -- which are called triggers -- with its Virtual Browser and understands what they are. Once the trigger is recognized, relevant content gets pushed across to the user using enhanced reality. For example, we have a look at a $20 bill during our demo and the bill in the phone display starts to deconstruct ending in some pretty serious rah rah sis boom bah. Aurasma is getting traction in advertising and we can only see this growing, it is really addictive fun. Users can grab the app free on either iOS or Android -- another mobile platform is coming with a name that doesn't rhyme with BlackBerry -- and get playing and creating. Aurasma also has a pro version -- also free -- with much more serious development tours for folks that really want to stretch its boundaries. Aurasma has been around for a while now but this is the first chance we've had a demo and we were very impressed.
