Philip Rosedale, the founder of Second Life, which is a virtual online world of Linden Labs, will rejoin the project as a strategic advisor to assist it to enter in the Metaverse. He is quite positive for non-fungible tokens (NFT) based futures and considers content interoperability in Metaverse as a complete failure. Interoperable material refers to products that may be purchased on one platform and transferred to another.
Second Life was launched in 2003 as an online social game universe by Rosedale. In 2008, he left as CEO of Linden Labs and launched a social Virtual Reality (VR) enterprise named High Fidelity. High Fidelity on January 13 declared that it is investing in Linden Labs with capital and “distributed computing patents”.
Rosedale told Cnet Technology that while examining the prospect of bringing VR technology to Second Life, powerful avatar animation utilising face mapping sensors seems a potential possibility and he has already worked in that direction.
According to him, in the short span of time, content interoperability will be adored by brands. He did not ignore the usage of NFTs and claimed the long-term notion to be completely accurate. He thinks that around 375 million goods sold for roughly $2 each on the Second Life marketplace every year, are NFTs already. NFTs are the essential principle of enabling digital assets to be labelled, marketable, and shared which is an ever growing concept. Since these objects aren’t stored on the blockchain, they can’t exist outside of the game – which is one of NFTs’ key qualities.
