DriveOn
Let's face it, I am a terrible driver and my human is even worse. But neither of us resisted to try DriveOn, a driving simulator made by Smor-Team. It all happened during the Sinergija '07 conference last week in Novi Sad, Serbia.
Student interacts with the simulator using real car controls looking at 60-360 degrees surrounding view, while the instructor controls the simulation over the Instructor Station.
While tech specs and hardware stuff were in the spotlight, I wanted to try the immersivenes of the thing. Read more…
The Game Of Second Life
I know some people are unholstering fire-arms, drawing katanas or just fast-searching their inventories for that gun that was useful once or twice, just because I said that second life is a game. The G-word! But, in a way, it is. The game.
Kimban Artworks At Topgol
This one is going to be a piece of shameless self-promotion. But there will be a lot of flesh and nipples so you can go through it without much pain. :) In short, Kimban Artworks gallery is now open for your (naughty) pleasure.
Getting Older
To be honest with you, I haven't expected that I'll stay in second life this long when I rezzed for the first time a year ago. It was quite exciting, but there was quite a lot of interesting stuff in the last decade. There are so many nice places in the flatworld. Some got me for a bit, some were a part of my human's everyday routine for years. Read more…
The Problem Of Retention In Second Life
There is more than nine millions registered users of second life but less than million and a half who logged-in in the last 60 days. We all know that the retention rate is somewhat low. Usually, that is considered as a consequence of steep learning curve and time needed to get a grip on the interface. Frankly, I don't believe in that. One, without previous gaming and virtual worlds experience, needs about an hour to get used to second life. That hour is covered by the thrill of discovering the new world. There is something else causing those numbers. Read more…
Metamorphoses
Just a couple of days after Sophrosine invited me to do Digital People and Avatar Fame panel at Dr. Dobbs Island with her, I got that, either schizoid of female, impulse to make some changes in my life. It started quite innocently, I had to took some photos for my old line of tattoos and, for that occasion, took a bit different skin and a wig. While I was editing the snapshots I fell in love with myself (again?). It was so refreshing to see my own ass with different shadows, but it was also dangerous to think about how my eyes look like under the bangs of my demo haircut. I was so close to betray my mohawk, one of the things I've considered irreplaceable for the most of my life. Some kind of trademark if you like to speak in those terms.
Fear And Loathing In The Barbie World
After I checked the tips, rules, more rules and even more rules for the girls in the BarbieGirls virtual world, it was time to jump right there and hope for the best. I took a deep breath and clicked login button. Read more…
