Themed grids.
A grid for each school,
community, or business.
A fit with HG and VPGs.
Themed grids flip the marketing
- Not "come into a 3D grid because you will like it."
- But "come to this {school, community, business} because of what it offers."
- "And it offers this in 3D, right where you live--on your home computer."
- "Even better, you can try out a sample world right here on this web page."
- "Better than better, we are here to talk to you if you come to our Open Hours."
- Bringing OpenSim and web-worlds together: Web-world on the landing page
What changes with the flip?
- Your target market is not just people who want to try out virtual worlds.
- It is people who are looking for what you have to offer.
- A school offers education. Studying in a virtual world is an option.
- A model railroad community offers news and resources for model railroaders
- Building and marketing railroads in virtual worlds is a convenient option.
How would a VPG help?
- VPG=Vitual Private Grid
- A VPG uses a copy of the software running an existing grid.
- It has an independent web presence controlled by the VPG owner.
- The web presence can be on your website. You control the entry path.
- Its internal operations are isolated as with any other grid.
- The VPG owner needs only to manage the user-facing operations.
- The tech infrastructure is managed by the VPG vendor.
