The second coming of Second Life is upon us. The founder of Linden Lab’s virtual online world Second Life Philip Rosedale, will be rejoining the project as a strategic advisor to guide its entry to the Metaverse.
, High Fidelity said it is investing in Linden Labs with both cash and what is described as “distributed computing patents,” including two regarding community moderation in decentralized environments.“Big Tech giving away VR headsets and building a metaverse on their ad-driven, behavior-modification platforms isn’t going to create a magical, single digital utopia for everyone.
"Using the webcam to animate an avatar, that's a really interesting in-between," he said."Not enough people are looking at that space, that's one that I've spent a lot of time thinking about." As for the possibility of incorporating new ideas like interoperable non-fungible items into Second Life, Rosedale will need some convincing. In the Metaverse,He referenced the way branded content can negatively break the fourth wall in Metaverse platforms, saying that in the short term, “content interoperability is one of these things that only a brand could love.”However, he didn’t shun the use of non-fungible tokens , saying that the “long-term idea is totally correct.
“Those are all NFTs — basically, the core idea of allowing digital assets to be marked and allowing them to be tradable and shareable,” he said, adding that this concept is only “going to get bigger and bigger and bigger. Of course, these items inside Second Life aren’t recorded on the blockchain, and therefore cannot exist outside the game – which are essential properties of NFTs.
Now in its 19th year of operation, Second Life claims an annual GDP of $650 million, with over 8 million unique items sold on its Marketplace.
