3D Glasses and Second Life..


I have often wondered what it would be like to wear 3D immersive eyewear plugged
into Second Life, so that in the end, it would be as if I am seeing the whole environment
through the eyes of my avatar.

The overall concept, is to employ an HMD (Head Mounted Display), seen here by VPL Research.
This hardware, allows the person wearing it, to have a full immersive, digital sensory experience of 3D sights and sounds.

By full immersive, I mean when you look hold your head up, you see the sky, when you hold your head down, you see the ground, and to the left, you see the left of you, and the right, you will of course see the whats actually to the right of your avatar.

I predict this as a natural evolution of online interactive virtual communities like Second Life, in the not so distant future.
