Augmented Reality 38/84/37

First sign of Spring in Augmented Reality Island. Augmented Reality is one of the 4 types of virtual worlds, according to Metaverse.org's model. It is an interesting domain with lots of astonishing possibilities. Recently I spotted a video on Youtube in which a SL Avatar appeared in a real-world room. Filled to the roof with ICT - equipment, just to mark the development-status at the moment. With a pair of dedicated glassed on your nose you can expect me to walk in any moment. Or the guys from StarTrek.

Amazing island with lots of buildings that express creative thinking and showin g on designing and building modern places to work and live in. Sustainable and some of great interest and beauty. I did not find a modern school building yet, but no doubt, soon to come.

This office shows some understanding on how Avatars would like to design their own office in-world. You might dislike the colours, the absence of abundant decorating or even the structure. But its certainly built to use and has a wonderfull navigation format. Strolling is easy and the structure is transparant. You always know where you are in this building and visible from all sides.

In search of examples of innovative and inspiring architecture I started to wander around in the creative tub called Second Life. So far the only place I stumbled upon is this one. Nice place, looks well, different and maybe worth another call later.

The ideas behind the online collaborative spirit of Web 2.0 have been successfully harnessed in a wide array of disciplines. Can a field as subjective as architecture, or design in general, benefit from this collective intelligence paradigm? To help answer this question, ‘Real Life Architects in Second Life’ (RLASL) will be conducting a ‘Wikitecture’ experiment over the next month to determine just how feasible a collaborative approach in design might be in the architectural profession.
