ASTRALCOM SL, the in-world division of ASTRALCOM Digital Business Solutions have completed their commission to develop a messaging services in a mobile aerial format in the skies within Second Life.
Lakewood, CA (PRWEB) October 31, 2007 -- ASTRALCOMSL, the in-world division of ASTRALCOM Digital Business Solutions (www.astralcom.com) a US-based company, today announced that they have completed their commission to develop a solution for its Boston, MA client that wished to provide messaging services in a mobile aerial format in the skies within Second Life.
The messaging solution includes the deployment of a customized airship, or blimp, that can be flown throughout the skies in Second Life and will allow for passengers to fly in the blimp, while also displaying messages via side panels on the blimp as it flies. "It was important to ensure that the resulting flight experience was as life-like as possible for our client and for their passengers," stated ASTRALCOMSL VP of E-Business Richard Bergér. "The customized blimp is a complete scale model and includes realistic features like engine sounds, auto-pilot, flight control, passenger ejection, mooring and a host of other items that make the flight experience authentic and compelling," explained Bergér.
Another aspect of the airship is its ability to display messages to the Second Life residents while flying around and unlike real life, the messages, when touched, teleports residents to the exact location of the business or person displaying the message on the airship. "We haven't actually seen anything like this flying around Second Life so far, so our client may be one of the first to do this," claimed Bergér.
