Over on the IBM islands Jessica Qin pointed out that we now have the Second Life Ballet. Now demographically you would not expect to see epredator at a ballet. However, I am looking forward to seeing a performance.
We have all been talking about how the metaverse is about people, and people connecting. It is therefore no surprise that we need to consider artistic live performance in that too. Doing things live and to an audience is what is missing from many of the other ‘social’ experiences in the Web 2.0 world. Games of course with coop missions and tasks, live competition online, have long had this element of performance.
