It was an exhilarating conversation, covering everything from the cultural implications of voice in Second Life to the concept of &#8220;Overlays&#8221; as a way to think about our digital lives.

In my recent post about MyWorld, a new mirror world social gaming platform, Metacam Oh commented that without avatars it isn&#8217;t a game changer for the metaverse.
