STALEMATE Second Life
STALEMATE[1] KBSDE focuses on in-world rapid application development for virtual modeling and avatar intelligence for mobile augmented-reality (AR) gaming in support of decisions in the investment markets.

Second Life and virtual time travel: Feasibility considerations for A(ugmented )R(eality) gaming decision support
In evaluating Second Life as a viable immersive, decision-support platform for AR applications, the focus lies on the requirement of context switching (teleporting) seamlessly between past, present and future/potential scenarios or simulated worlds. While offering a stress test, a case is made for its usability for virtual time travel.
Complementing global grid-level implementation aspects, a local viewer approach from an intelligent avatar perspective employs a semi-transparent, geodesic dome-shaped, time-travel vehicle. From inside this vehicle the avatar ultimately projects a (prototyped) simulation model of the world in question (quasi-)panoramically onto the interior wall, which in turn is superimposed on a camera image of physical reality.
Earlier conceptual incorporation of the geodesic dome with (physical) time travel includes a Mojave Desert landmark[4] and Disney's Epcot Theme Park's Spaceship Earth[5] inspired by Buckminster Fuller. A Lego version of the idea has also been tested on ROBLOX[6]. The form also lends itself naturally in conjunction with from planetaria derived surround projection technologies as IMAX (3D).
Salient features inherent in the general approach include:
- human-computer interaction involving uploading knowledge-based models to or developing these assisted by the avatar for decision support in collaborative or educational settings
- physical augmentation of user-avatar interfacing and virtual augmentation of physical reality
- physical data acquisition for validation in virtual modeling
- the prospect of using the virtual world as an agile, knowledge-based, model-driven, simulation-directed development environment for virtual worlds and generated AR applications
Mobile agent-assisted virtual modeling for AR
The on Google Code hosted Project STALEMATE KBSDE Extension[7] includes investigation of requirements for a knowledge-based avatar modeling tool (cf. Blender[8] and the Valve Source Engine[9]) targeting a Second Life AR viewer (cf. Argon[10] and the Georgia Tech Augmented Environments Lab's AR Second Life Client[11]) and Mozilla Firefox[12] under Google Android[13] within the framework of the Eclipse IDE[14] (cf. DroidAR[15], Metaio[16] and Unity 3D[17]). The goal is to develop a mobile client environment for distributed, intelligent avatar-assisted virtual modeling of AR applications interfacing with simulators (cf. OpenSim[18] and OSgrid[19]) supported by Web mining and data warehousing.
Second Life according to AR Gaming
This is intended as a proposed alternative ontology/taxonomy of Second Life to exploit the potential target applications offered by AR gaming.

Second Life on Steam / Steam in Second Life within AR
After the 2012 announcement[120] concerning collaboration between Linden Lab and Valve Software with its Steam gaming platform[121], Second Life has to date yet to be submitted on Steam for Greenlighting[122], with Linden Lab apparently preceding this with its build tool Patterns[123] to engage the Steam developer community. Conversely Linden Lab has since introduced Pathfinder Non-Playing Characters[124] in emulation of mainstream gaming on platforms such as Steam. The implications and opportunities of cross-fertilization in this conjunction deserve consideration.
Specific aspects determining the potential of Second Life for hosting Steam game RPC's and AR sim mods include:
- interoperability among simulation environments on heterogeneous platforms
- portability of avatars and in-game assets
- physically augmented user-intelligent avatar interfacing for an AR viewer
- superimposition of the virtual world on physical reality and the reverse mapping
- standardization of/best practices for an integrated tool environment for application development
The specifics with respect to the Steam platform in this regard are considered on the Valve developer wiki[125]. For further developments from both Second Life and Steam perspectives please refer to the STALEMATE KBSDE Extension Project on Google Code[126].
