Wagner James Au, of New World Notes, has a story today on a new program that will be beta testing next month to allow people to access Second Life and OpenSim via their browsers. “Canvas” was made by Chris Collins, formerly of Linden Labs, to be a web-based viewer to facilitate people’s accessing Open Sim and Second Life. This news follows on the news from two weeks back on the acquisition of another Linden Labs alumni, Cory Ondrejka, and his start-up by Facebook.
These two events may be unconnected, but consider the possibilities of being able to integrate the most user-generated friendly virtual worlds with the world’s largest social network. Facebook, which started out connecting classmates, could become a center for virtual classes to be held. And that is just one possibility.
