Grace McDunnough and her MUSIMMERSION is genius. Using the strongest elements of SL and live music performance, Grace takes you on a musical journey into the heart of each song as the crowd is literally transported into a new environment reflecting the story and imagery of each tune. Add to that that her performances are super strong, a great selection of songs, beautifully detailed sets and you have a winner.

What’s more, no ‘new’ SL technology was required to make this happen, and though there many details to think through, especially from an event perspective, the idea is basic enough. Indeed there have been holodecks - self-assembling rooms - for quite a while. (Although there more advantages I think to Grace’s approach of moving avatars and not relying on SL to reconstruct whole sets from script every time).

The ZeroG Sky Dancers in SL is another experience that plays on the strengths of SL for expression - more on that in another post.
