Why You Should Have Your Next Business Meeting in Second Life | Fast Company

  • IBM and Cisco are both heavy users or virtual worlds, and specifically Second Life. IBM in particular has been a real innovation leader, using Second Life aggressively for a couple of years now. On the order of a thousand people came to a multi day virtual event in which Sam Palmisano, their CEO, spoke from a recreation of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Obviously, with the concern about the ecological impact of business travel today, as well as increasing fuel costs, the savings are very substantial for businesses to have meetings in Second Life.

  • There are two features we've added in the last year that has made Second Life attractive to both business and education. The first one was the ability to use 3D voice. If someone is on your left and someone else is on your right, you hear them on your left and on your right. You can't do this with a speakerphone, you can't do it with most videoconferencing systems and you can't do it with Skype.



    The second thing we did is add richer features that enables people to browse the Web. You can sit around the table in Second Life with a bunch of colleagues from remote offices and one of you can show a presentation, a PowerPoint or a Web page, up on the wall in the virtual meeting room.



    The virtual world creates a sense of realism that's way beyond what you can do with two-dimensional whiteboarding or a Web conferencing application. Admittedly, it's a little harder to get set up, and that's our challenge.
