Hiro Pendragon just made an excellent point about corporate-sponsored mixed reality events and projects. While many Residents grouse over the inaccurate hype about them coming from the mainstream media...
[T]he hype seems to be seeping out from the SL blogs themselves, not mainstream media! Three recent examples:
* Jay-Z coming to SL
* Machinima Film Fest being in SL
* Scion launching in SL
Now
these are indeed worthy news stories in SL. The problem? I had heard
all about them before they happened, and now that they are done, I'm
not reading anything about how they went. SL bloggers are mostly
covering the announcement of the event, and hardly talking afterward
about what actually happened.
Read it all here.
And I'll take up Hiro's gauntlet here: in future Mixed Reality Mondays
entries, I will make every effort to not only mention mixed reality
projects, but link to in-depth, on-the-scene analyses of them by SL
bloggers, as well. (Critical coverage is not only OK but encouraged--
as long as it's informed and fair.) Just be sure to e-mail me the link before Monday.
Last night I attended an event where a speaker in SL held the attention of a real life audience of about 100 people. The illusion of presence worked. I wrote up my impressions at http://www.mindthis.net.
