As you mention, it is good for some simulations such as you mentioned. However, what cracks me up and which I highly doubt it could get better is in the areasAnna J Tsiolkovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002434425155839572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913940513639045520.post-53219465631038588162008-08-08T12:18:00.000-07:002008-08-08T12:18:00.000-07:00I think the future of simulations is in the collab...I think the future of simulations is in the collaborative arena. You could set up epidemic/response simulations in SL at a fraction of the cost of RL, though I agree that we are far from the realism of the 'Matrix' and there is a lot of over-statement right now but it is only going to get better.<BR/><BR/>Also, Second Life is ideal for visualizing molecules as well as other complex data sets.
