Second Life CEO Ebbe Altberg speaks about their VR project, ‘Sansar’
Bloggers' Corner
Exciting! I wonder if the 3D content they mention include sims? Would be great to arrive in Sansar with already some interesting choices of sims to visit. Can't for more info to come out.
Would be great to have someone interested in historical creations among these initial creators, who knows!

Also the issue with clothing is that most effeminately, Project Sansar's avatar will be brand new, with new and completely different models,rigging and bones.
The clothing made and rigged for our current Second Life avatars wouldn't work on them.

I've been following news on Project Sansar, and I'm always eager for more information. I think it would be nice if they introduced a built-int 3D modeling too, more simplified and intuitive - even if, then, more limited than other 3D softwares - so users who are new to it won't be completely left out. The inclusion of a animation system sounds very promising too.
The master account thing will be great for roleplayers, specially since apparently you'll be able to share your inventory among your different "personas". Hopefully the different pricing of land will create room for new and varied high quality sims, RP oriented or not. Since it is mentioned lindens will remain as the platform's currency, I wonder if we will be able to transfer L$ bought in SL to Sansar?
On a more visual note, I'd love to have some kind of clothing physics, something like this http://goo.gl/MJQHZ4 . Hoping for great improvements in the lighting and all too!
Lady Violet’s ‘Downton Abbey’ home for sale
History
The dowager countesss witticisms not included.
By DANIEL GOLDSTEIN
If you missed out last year on the listing of the Godfather House on Staten Island in New York, maybe this home is more up your abbey er, alley.
Byfleet Manor, in Surrey, just southwest of London, and dower home to Maggie Smiths character Lady Violet Crawley in the PBS series Downton Abbey, is on the market, according to real estate broker Savills. The price? 3.95 million,or $6.1 million. The Georgian-style brick home, built in 1686 and set on 19 acres, has a walled courtyard, eight bedrooms and four reception rooms and its just 20 miles from central London.
You get a lot of house for your money, said Simon Ashwell, the Savills agent who is listing the home for Julie Hutton, the current owner, who bought Byfleet Manor about 10 years ago for 1 million.
Byfleet Manor isnt one to avoid the cameras. The house also starred in the series Poirot and Cranford and was the stand-in for Cinderellas home in the 2014 movie Into the Woods with Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp. When it comes to Downton Abbey, the home has served as Lady Violets house since 2010 after the location agent from the PBS series Cranford suggested it to the shows producers. We wanted to deliberately pull Violet back into that Georgian world, Donal Woods, the production designer for Downton Abbey, told Savills.
The house is just one of several properties for sale in the past year that have been backdrops for famous movies and TV shows.
In October 2014, the famed Waldorf-Astoria hotel in Manhattan, home to more than two dozen Hollywood films, including Scent of a Woman and Neil Simons Out of Towners, sold to a Chinese insurance company for $1.95 billion.
Last November, the Staten Island English Tudorstyle mansion used in the The Godfather as the Corleone crime family compound, went on sale for $2.9 million.

The history of Byfleet Manor actually extends back as far as the 7th century and was recorded in 1086. The Manor of Byfleet was then owned by the royal family for more than 300 years, with King Edward I and Edward II having stayed at Byfleet and Henry VIII having spent several years of his childhood there. Queen Elizabeth I was known to have visited in 1576, Savills said.
The last royal owner was the Queen Consort Anne of Denmark, wife of King James I. It was later used as a training camp during World War II for Canadian troops who set up an assault course in the garden, said Ashwell, who in 2011 listed another famous (or infamous) house in Surrey used in the movies, the Pyrford Court mansion, from the 1976 film The Omen , starring Gregory Peck.
Ashwell said that despite the Byfleet homes history hes hoping to find a purchaser who needs a residence to support a growing flock of Crawleys, though hes expecting international interest because of the homes film pedigree. This house will appeal to families, but somebody may just buy this
