Come to Dallier’s Hope for the debut of the most configurable, practical, and fun “Interactive Architecture” ever created in Second Life! This unique structure can become whatever you wish... a two-story house, an elevated single-floor store, a multi-shop mall, a four-story office, or even an "architectural sculpture." By just clicking its prims, you can change it to any of "2 times 10 to the 112th power" possible configurations!
The new technologies you see here will allow virtual builders and architects to create structures that their owners can reconfigure at any time, on their own, without having to "Edit" prims...and may even redefine the relationship between builders/architects and their clients.
So come to Times Sands’ little patch of Dallier’s Hope (SL6B Titan region), grab an instructional notecard from one of the givers, and turn my exhibit into whatever YOU want!
Think of it as akin to that friend you invite to your birthday dinner that teases you a bit, points out the new gray hairs and brings up all the embarrassing stories from your past then by the end of the dinner everyone knows you better and has had a good laugh.

Here on the meteor, it is 2499 and we hurtle through space, bereft of sun. The gloom persists. But not too long ago, we found some fragments from a non-quite forgotten past, and they ignited our imaginations. Images, a poem, some sounds, a fragment of video, pieces of text, pulled off an ancient disc from 2009 that somehow survived in space and floated to us.
What an archeological find! The motifs invigorated our design, infiltrated our dreams, shaped our virtual environments. The sun, the flower, the ripple, the snow. A poem that speaks to our experience here on the gloom meteor, my own desert place that I call home. But then of course I toggle into the virtual, and my eyes drink in the water, my skin sears with the heat of the sun, I am enveloped by the petals of the flower, and I turn my face and part my lips to taste the falling snow.
The Future of Virtual Worlds? That's what we question at each session of The Virtual World SIG. Since 2006, at each event, we have heard from the most influential people and companies in virtual worlds today. Past - Present - Future - are mingling and becoming tangible - This is what happens when the world becomes virtual. Join us - we've only begun this journey at http://www.virtualworldsig.com
What if instead of preserving the past, we worked to "preserve the future"? What if we entered the digital cave of the imagination to create keys and guideposts for those that come after us? What if we used all the tools we have to create artifacts for the future? This is the future of virtual worlds.

This exhibit is not only a play on words, but a play on life. We often find ourselves in a Virtual World doing things that not many can imagine. Crossing the boundary from the virtual to the real. I speak from personal experience when I say that more often than not, this Virtual World is more real than what we see as reality every day. True love can't keep two people apart - even when you're separated by thousands of miles and an LCD screen.

The Virtual Dressingroom - a vision of Freda Fredriksson of using virtual worlds to improve online shopping experience
Why does the real fashion industry not (yet) use virtual worlds to show and sell their products to us? There are only very few of them. And its exactely as hard to find them here as in real life. I think fashion industry is just sleeping or anxious to try new ways and they do not understand how to make things work well in virtual worlds. With this exhibition I try to focus on the possibility to use virtual worlds for a better product presentation and improved sales possibilities, for showing us here in a relaxed way at home at our favourite fun place the items we wanna buy! A virtual dressing room.
Welcome to the Oriental house of the future. Our past made us strong and tradition brought us the world as we now know. It’s 2900. We hold on to our past as you can see on the first floor. But when you enter, you see our technology. All things communicate and the moon is within reach. Like in SL, distances are diminishing. This house gets its energy from the earth and passes the energy we have not used, to others. Energy is the most important thing in 2900. It has information screens to see what is happening in the house and what is happening to people we love. We don’t need food anymore, we need energy so we energize for half an hour a day. Colors give energy too, that is why you see a lot of colors. Please note we could not display all we wanted due to primlimit. In 2900 primlimit will not be a problem anymore We hope you enjoy it! Gregory Wellman – builder Ina Pidgeon - decorator

Will virtual worlds of the future see lifeforms other then humans? SL is full of stuff, plants, trees, animals and fish, but all lifeless. There are some places showing natural landscapes, with "wild faunas" but in the end those animals are just no more than moving objects and lovely though static plants and trees. The future, instead, will see real lifeforms capable of living and dying, moving, reproducing, evolving and even interacting with humans. That is what we intend to provide.

I investigated the rock that shone in blue. The rock that shoots a mysterious, blue light as having hung to magic ･There is strength three times the diamond. ･It has the same mass as gold. ･It reacts with water and an intense gas is discharged. It was such a feature.
The voltage has been applied to this rock by mistake at doing a certain experiment. When the pulse is impressed, the strong magnetic field that has not been experienced has generated several volts up to now. In addition, strong light is originated.I established the generating set by using this strange phenomenon.
