Awesome article!
I wholeheartedly agree that Second Life and open Sim are the perfect fit for Oculus Rift!
Thanks for the kind words about Second Life. I love it still and always will. Those who know its magic and depth will understand.
Great article about the evolution of Second Life over the past few years. Oculus Rift would be an interesting addition, great for exploring, and socializing.
Nice article. My Virtual World group at the USC-ICT has already been working on the port of SL/Open SIm to the Oculus Rift, having had a device for the past few weeks already. Stay tuned – we will have videos and the announcement out soon!
Jacki…keep us posted. WE have been meting with the OR folk and they were not aware of any OR?OS?SL integrations so when done, let them know as well.
Amazing article. Thank you. Led me to do more research and found this video. Interesting connection to your post about the killer app for this new venue. I kept thinking there was one person missing from the panel..Philip Rosedale

Why was I not included in this list?
Thanks for including one of my Pics in this article. I too see great potential with SL and OR. However the seasick / carsick symptoms as reported my others with similar VR glasses in the past would be an issue with some I feel.

Agree 100% There is so much more to SL that most people give it credit for. The solid user base is mostly from those who understand and see this potential. The Oculus Rift would make it truly immersive. Can’t wait!
