Last year, Octal Khan built an exacting and gorgeously rendered recreation of a home by famed LA architect Gregory Ain. He just posted a suavely-scored YouTube walkthrough of the house, and at times, it eerily seems that you are looking at real video. The only thing which breaks the illusion, by my lights, is how SL displays walking from a first-person perspective, which is still awkward and jarring in tight spaces. (It's why I prefer flying, even in narrow corridors.) A daytime version is here; read about how Octal built the home here.
