Every now and again I wonder about the multi-user 3D environments, or virtual worlds that were all the rage just a couple of years ago, the finest example being Second Life. Second Life itself was a promising collaborative 3D learning platform. That day is far off yet.

That’s what has occurred on Second Life (SL) in the 2007 calendar year. Maybe there’s been some buzz about Second Life (SL) in distance education circles for awhile now but the massive increase in users is fueling some new excitement. I'm just not sure how much 'time' will be required. Two more years? Ten more years?

While some industries already use simulations for worker training, a digital twin is far superior by virtue of being a completely replicated virtual reality environment.
