Community Project and some Editorial Notes


Virtual Mashup!

Socks launched this cool project. Basically, the idea is to intigrate the virtual world with the digital/real one! Following are the steps to be in :

1) Take a photos of your avatar (whatever virtual world or games you inhabit) (Second Life, Warcraft, The Sims, IMVU, Lively are ok)

2) Incorporated the image of your avatar in a real life background related to your life (your hourse, your friends, your girlfriend)

3) Mix the real life with the digital/virtual ones with photoshop or other tool and upload on Koinup

4) Add the tag: VR2RL

5) More info? Contact Socks!

Virtual Mashup is open to each virtual world and games!
