virtual reality by lumaki

Virtual reality is still a niche curiosity, but slowly gaining relevance. In certain situations it can facilitate amazing and useful experiences.

Second Life

lumaki has experimented with Second Life, and created a self-contained “level” on a 300 meter high tower, on the RMIT Design and Social Context Island.

The level is a maze of illusion, blocking out the visual clutter of the rest of Second Life. Only a few objects can be seen through the walls. The path itself is fairly obscured, and difficult to make out.

Issues in Second Life mostly centre around resource limits, personal movement, and lag (network latency).
