Abstract:

Last year, Second Life came to the forefront of social virtual worlds with explosive growth and entries by high-profile brands. Now, growth has slowed, and brands as a whole have struggled to find their place. At the same time, 2D and 2.5D worlds for teens are booming, MMOs are hot, and there are new, open-source opportunities on the horizon for 3D worlds. What have we learned from this—and what does it mean for the future? In this session, we’ll examine:

  • What worked, and what didn’t, in 2D and 3D virtual worlds
  • What the landscape looks like right now
  • Where the virtual world roadmap might take us in the next 12 months
  • Practical strategies for deciding what worlds—if any—are right for you
  • Results that you might expect—and how to measure them
