In the metaverse I can walk.  
Or at least my avatar can

Metaverse:  how to learn about it.  
Watch what we've been doing in the pre-metaverse.  
Yeah, watch videos to see what it is like in the metaverse.  
Look in on the developing metaverse.  Just virtual worlds now, but they will give an idea of what the metaverse will be like

2018 BIZ: HG: EDU: Themed grids. A grid for each school, community, or business. A fit with HG and VPGs


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.
