A Virtual World: The PCD Music Lounge
In the beginning there was a nightclub. On May 15 a San Francisco company, Doppelganger, is launching the PCD Music Lounge, a spot where teenagers can dance, hang out, and look cool. But the club exists only online.
Users enter this three-dimensional virtual world as avatars, customized characters meant to represent their real-world counterparts. They bounce and bop in a space inspired by the pink-lit megaclubs of Miami and Manhattan. Integrated with their AOL (TWX) instant-messenger accounts, they can talk with friends and pick up new ones. The dancing avatars can signal what they’re feeling with gestures ranging from head-scratching confusion to friendly waves. They make everyday emoticons look as dated as a leisure suit.
