Real Estate Virtual (Real Virtual)

Real Estate Virtual (Real Virtual) is an activity to create real world related applications within virtual worlds.

Introduction


Virtual worlds have just recently become quite prevalent on the web radar. From Second Life to Google's Lively, virtual worlds offer a whole new way to interact, create, and communicate on the web today.

These new worlds remove users from a two dimensional realm and into a three dimensional world like that of our real world today. In addition, the ability to create objects or prims opens up a whole new world of possibilities for researching, experimenting, testing, and developing projects by saving materials and time expenses and costs respectively.

The mission for the this activity is to pursue the development of virtual applications for real world products and services. Our pursuit will not be limited just to one, but to as many as feasible.

We welcome suggestions, contributors, and observers for this activity.
