Virtual strawberries anyone?
For anyone not particularly into music festivals and so not rushing-off to the Secondfest virtual festival in Second Life next weekend (read post here), how about relaxing with some tennis at IBM’s Second Life virtual Wimbledon?
Following testing on a private Second Life island in 2006, this year any interested spectators in Second Life will be able to see matches being played by avatars using real Hawkeye ball position data from Centre Court. They even have virtual rain and virtual covers to protect the virtual courts. If you’ve got a Second Life account then you can take a visit.
Alternately, if tennis is your thing but Second Life isn’t, then you can see video from Centre Court and No. 1 Court, as well as highlights, interviews, and archive footage at Wimbledon.org.
