Seen on the Future Place: Mario Menti, who recently joined GMI as an Associate Director/Solutions Architect in the UK, shows how he created an online survey in Second Life. A very interesting move for online research integrated in virtual worlds. Here is how it works:
An avatar walks towards the GMI survey object, it senses the avatar’s presence and asks it to touch it in order to start the survey. If the avatar decides to touch the survey object, it starts asking the survey questions using the GMI survey engine.
This mash-up example is a very interesting application of how to use existing technologies (second Life and GMI software) as an alternative to proprietary virtual world survey solutions (disclaimer: OTX has been creating virtual online stores and virtual kid interviewers for some time now).
