Second LifeŽ is a virtual world - a 3D online persistent space totally designed by its users. Within this vast and rapidly expanding place, you can do, create or become just about anything that you can imagine. Built-in content creation tools let you make almost anything you can imagine, in real time and in collaboration with others. An incredibly detailed digital body ('Avatar') allows a rich and customizable identity. A powerful physics simulation running on a backbone of hundreds of connected computers and growing with the population allows you to be immersed in a visceral, interactive world. The ability to design and resell 3D content, combined with the ability to own and develop land and a microcurrency, which can be exchanged to real money means that you can build a real business entirely within Second LifeŽ.

If you are simply curious about what it would be like to wander a world filled with colorful people in which the only limits are imagination, you will find the Second LifeŽ software easy to install, and the basic experience of moving around and experiencing the world simple and fun, with many friendly people waiting to help you once you arrive.

If you are a 3D content creator, entrepreneur, game developer, artist, or software developer, Second LifeŽ is guaranteed to blow your mind. It is a palette for creative self-expression like nothing you have ever seen. Jump in, find a sandbox, and start building.
