What is the Second Life phenomenon?

Leading up to the State of Play conference next month in Singapore, I will be putting up some useful or background posts on electronic environments. In this post, this video is a useful introduction to Second Life for new comers.

STATE OF PLAY CONFERENCE V : Building the Global Metaverse

I am very proud to announce that Centre for Asia Pacific Technology Law & Policy at NTU is co-organising an international conference here in Singapore on the impact of Virtual World technologies on education, law and society. The conference is jointly organised by Harvard Law, Yale Law and Trinity and Nanyang Technological Universities.

The conference will be held at the Marina Mandarin Singapore from 19th to the 22nd August. In addition to the multidisciplinary tracks in the conference proceedings, CAPTEL will also be conducting a workshop on the last day of the conference on Virtual World's legal issues on business in particular on Asian businesses and opportunities.
