Linden Labs Looks to Create 'Wordpress for Social VR' - The Blog Herald

Linden Labs Looks to Create 'Wordpress for Social VR' - The Blog Herald | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Second Life is a online game that immerses players in a virtual world. For the past thirteen years, more than 90,000 players have entered the online community. Now, Linden Labs, the company behind the unique game is looking to enter the realm of virtual reality.


With the popularity of virtual reality headsets, there is an important need for companies to create software to go along with the new technology. That’s where Linden Labs comes in.


Creating software for VR is a hefty task and is pretty much impossible for small companies or organizations. Linden Labs is hoping to help those little guys out by creating what they call a ‘WordPress for Social VR’.

I personally haven't tried Second Life but it's been highly recommended by friends. I just might try this today. No VR yet but this should be interesting all the same.

I’m invested in ethics and education, in individuals equipping themselves to navigate a market designed to fool them. More even than informed decision-making, I’m invested in fostering creativity and the courage to explore new art forms, to find new ways to build connections with each other.


Virtual reality has so much raw power — and now more than ever, we need a reminder of what Uncle Ben told Peter.


As somebody who’s found himself uniquely situated to discuss the intersection of writing, storytelling structure, and virtual reality, I want to share some of the basic ideas I’ve learned (from making content and building a creation tool in the medium) to empower a new crop of filmmakers and storytellers to take the leap toward producing their own narrative adventures in VR....

Virtual Reality! It's amazing! It's terrifying! It's the future! Nothing will ever be the same!
