Worlds That Were

As virtual worlds are born so do they die. Some worlds have been long running early experiments that have ended their life cycle. Habitat was such a world. Other worlds were purpose built for one event and then taken down. Earlier in this book, I described some of these event worlds. One such world was The Mirror world built for British Telecom in support of a BBC TV Series early in 1997. Van Gogh TV's Worlds Within was constructed just for the 1996 Olympic Arts Festival and is detailed in Appendix A. Both Habitat and The Mirror are also described in the Advanced Course at Avatar University on the companion book Web site and the book CD-ROM.
