As part of the Big Chip Awards ceremony, compère Terry Christian was digitally recreated as an ‘avatar’ to host the event in Second Life.
The award ceremony was due to be broadcast live in a specially created arena which would then be relayed in first life. Sadly this hook-up didn’t happen and had to be abandoned due to unexplained technical reasons.
Shame, I was looking forward to seeing what two Terry Christians in the same room would be like.
But it did leave me musing on whether this hiccup was typical SL all over – great concept but annoyingly poor user experience.
As I was attending in first life, I couldn’t make it to the SL date. If you were there and it happened – I’d love to know how it went.
