So 15 years later and with a new leader at the helm, rather than go it alone Autodesk is now poised to tap into the pioneering work of Linden Lab, the power of its community, and the spirit of all things 3pointD. Having used AutoCAD myself for over 10 years it will be most interesting to see where this goes. It could also be suggested that one of the reasons Second Life has been so widely accepted is because of its built in creation tools, lowering the barrier to entry for non-professionals (with the exception of Photoshop or the GIMP). Autodesk’s initiative seems to be about lowering the barrier for professionals who arrive with specialized knowledge and expensive tools

Autodesk bet on VR once before, in 1988. nice to have them back 🙂
