The Second Life sim Virtual Beliefnet was used as an entry point sim for the online community of http://www.beliefnet.com which included a welcome area, event area, informational and user quiz space and a parceled off section for community housing, all set to a calming design and well landscaped terrain that included influences from various spiritual denominations and paths.
Virtuallive.tv was a mixed reality event that took place at the Canal Room Club in NYC and Simultaneously within Second Life. It featured the performances of the bands Buddhahead and Shock Radar playing live at the venue, streamed live into SL as the backdrop where the band’s avatars were performing for the virtual audience and footage of the virtual performance shown back into the club, both streaming live back and forth. We created the stage setting environment, custom avatars modeled after real life band members and in world promotional items. We also puppeteered at real life event and filmed and produced machinima for event.
