Virtual worlds offer an unparalleled medium for participants to form communities around shared interests, discuss goals and ideas, develop new initiatives, and exchange rapid feedback or “peer review” of contributions, all in the backdrop of playful social networks. The Kira Institute has many such possible future projects. Most of our new projects come from grassroots level. A few are part of a big picture, a vision created by the founders of Kira.
Our future projects are at various stages of development. Some are in advanced stages and are nearly live. Others are still being planned. Not all such projects will come to fruition. Only when they become part of week-to-week Kira life can you be sure. Here is a selection:
Sacred Art Museum: Following on from a successful Sacred Art Exhibition, building is about to start on a larger more permanent home in forested land in Second Life.
Multimedia Arts Center: Developing out of the successful hosted group Spirit of the Senses, planning discussions are underway for a joint venture that may possibly use the impressive Kira Molecule structure in Second Life.
Real Life Retreat Center: Investigations are already underway regarding a real life Play as Being retreat center. An area of Second Life land has been made available for architectural mock-ups.
Kira Campus: As the number and breadth of Kira workshops and events grows, further classroom and experimental build facilities are planned that extend on existing conference areas.
Kira Science Park: More than just an exhibition area, the Kira Science Park will provide an incubator for collaboration between innovative thinkers in both industry and academia.
