"In 2006, The Electric Sheep Company designed and constructed the UGS Innovation Connection for global software firm UGS. To enable collaboration through Global Innovation Networks, UGS develops and leverages 3D modeling, visualization, and collaboration technologies. Virtual environments like Second Life were a natural and exciting extension of these technologies. Through UGS Innovation Connection, customers and partners are experimenting with new collaboration and visualization technologies inside Second Life.

The quote is wrong, the esheep site actually says:
In 2006, The Electric Sheep Company designed and constructed the Siemens Innovation Island for global software firm UGS. Siemens bought an existing PLM company called UGS and got ES to do an SL build for it. The jargon is standard fare for UGS, not something they produced to appeal to the average SL user. PLM means Product Lifecycle Management. Seimen/UGS's isn't trying to attract average SL customers, it's built a place in SL to be visited by it's customers, such as CADCAM companies, manufacturing firms, etc. You can see some of the folks that use it's products at http://www.ugs.com/partners/summaries/partner_search.shtml . I'd never heard of the SL build either, there are lots of these real world corporate SL builds that don't really serve the business's very well, but LL makes a bit of money off them, and regular SL users can hang out there and enjoy the reduced lag due to low sim population. They don't look as junky as a lot of SL. Some of them have an employee that pops up the instant you get there, like the sales people in stores that appear and try to deliver a spiel, when you don't really want to talk about buying something but just want to look around, whose presence causes you to leave the store faster than you would without them, even if they are real nice and don't really want to sell you something but just want to talk because they are bored. In SL, the company spokesman is not likely to be trying to sell you something but they might be supposed to try to engage visitors in conversation of some sort. _____________________

I have only been to there content selling site. While it looked it wasn't easy to use or find anyone to help you. Never went back except to remove the funds I left at the site to buy things I never used again. And few items I tried to use I couldn't figure them out or how to get them to work.

... and can translate the following into English? "In 2006, The Electric Sheep Company designed and constructed the UGS Innovation Connection for global software firm UGS. To enable collaboration through Global Innovation Networks, UGS develops and leverages 3D modeling, visualization, and collaboration technologies. Virtual environments like Second Life were a natural and exciting extension of these technologies. Through UGS Innovation Connection, customers and partners are experimenting with new collaboration and visualization technologies inside Second Life. " Is it any wonder that so many corporations don't manage to successfully integrate into the Second Life community, when they bombard us with stuff like that? Is it the fault of the company for not understanding, or the fault of the developers for not explaining things properly? By the way, has anyone ever visited - or heard of - this place? I hadn't. Broccoli It Translates into, "We've moved into SL, and we are going to try to make profit from advertising and selling 3d simulations of our products to SL players." The problem is, that is what EVERY Corporation is doing, But Each one is trying to sound Clever and innovative for catching on finally to something WE have been doing going on Four years now. It's hard to sound Cutting Edge, when you are the Blunt side of the Blade. Angel. |

There's some great quotes in here, if I ever get a chance to do a presentation to some of these "men in suits".

companies that deal in 'risky' 'new technology' such as virtual worlds are going to be a little skewed towards looking ultra-professional. it's just semantics to soothe the skittery potential client.
