Virtual World Entrepreneurship
What does online gaming have to do with starting or growing a business? Ms. Wise will introduce you to the concept of virtual worlds, and take the class on a trip to her home in Second Life. Ms. Wise founded a “virtually live” music venue called the House of Flames. As a registered trade name under ByteSight, her multimedia company, she has hosted the first 24-hour live music event in Second Life and has partnered on projects with HBO, NBC and SONY/BMG. The House of Flames has migrated to real life where she live broadcasts events such as concerts, corporate speakers and events, and just about anything where the Internet is “the next best thing to being there.”
