Concept #2

Premise: Order pizza in Second Life get it in real life.

Key Factors:
  • Avatar can go to a pizza seller within Second Life.
  • Inside avatar would pick which pizza they wanted and submit the order.
  • Pizza delivery service (in real life) would receive the order and payment because it would be bought using SL dollars.
  • Avatar would receive a digital pizza, while user would wait for their real pizza.
  • Using GPS to locate where the pizza is in relation to where the user is, SL would update how far/much time will it be until the pizza arrives (in real life).
Goals:
  • To mix Second Life decisions with real life results.
How:
  • People would set up an account (linked to their avatar) with a the pizza seller. (Outside of SL, at a website)
  • When ever someone wanted pizza, they would fly over to the pizza seller in SL, order something, it would be charged on their credit cards.
  • The order would be sent to their phyiscal residency, and their SL counter part would receive a digital pizza.
  • Once the order is sent out on delivery, a gps on the car would track where it is.
  • Although, the user will never know where the car really is, it should give an exact timeframe of how long will it take for their pizza to come.
This can also be used in other virtual worlds, its just a matter of having the virtual world giving out information to an outside source. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening world-wide, most likely just in condensed cities, due to cost-effectiveness.
