Become a Virtual Reality Star:Endemol and Electronic Arts have joined forces with the impending launch of Virtual Me. Intended to bridge the gap between traditional TV, videogaming and the Internet, users can use the tool to create life-like cyber clones of themselves and then participate in online talent TV shows like Fame Academy and big brother.
Gerhard Florin, executive vice president of EA International, called the project a "hybrid form of entertainment that takes gaming beyond the console" to a mass-market audience.
It’s an interesting move to try and future proof their business, but it’s yet to be seen if the average Internet user has the desire to live their lives as virtually as the techie audience.
