Locus Sonus and ESAA and the Art and Technology Program at the SAIC began to create a multi user virtual world based on the second life model, but entirely dedicated to audio and video experimentation. Like second life or many online video games each user or visitor will download an application that will render the world locally on their computer. Each copy of the world is linked to a server so that each user can perceive the actions of others. The principal difference between our proposed world and second life is that it will incorporate relatively sophisticated VR and audio processing possibilities and that the navigation, architecture & esthetics are to be thought out primarily to enhance the virtual experience.
