Greg Aronowitz Conducts an In-World Tour of His Star Wars Production Art Collection in Sansar

Well, we had a real treat this morning! Greg Aronowitz, the collector behind the wonderful Star Wars production art exhibition you can now visit in Sansar, conducted a personal tour of the museum this morning, and I was lucky enough to tag along and take some pictures! Very interesting talk as Greg described some of the history behind various objects. Drax was the interviewer (he’s the one with the red headphones and the microphone in the pictures). Greg is the avatar in the blue-and-white jersey and black baseball cap. Note that Solas is wearing a very funny tribute to Princess Leia with her croissant-bun hairstyle and pink light-sabre!

Inara Pey Blogs the Sansar Product Meetup Fri. Dec. 8th with Ebbe Altberg

As usual, Inara Pey blogs the most recent in-world Product Meetup of Friday, December 8th.

Pick of the Day: The Club

As interest in Sansar picks up, it will be important to have places where avatars can gather, relax, and chat. Places like this experience created by Marcus, and simply called The Club. This cosy spot is located in a city highrise, with oversize beanbag chairs, barrels for tables, a well-stocked bar, and even a disco dancefloor with a DJ spinning records!

Pick of the Day: Pictures from the Grand Opening of the Star Wars Production Art Exhibition at the Hollywood Art Museum

I was able to get into the Hollywood Art Museum experience a little bit early, and I have some exclusive first photos of this stunning new Star Wars production art exhibition! In my opinion, this is one of the very best experiences built in Sansar to date, and if you’ve never been to Sansar before, it’s absolutely worth setting up an account, going in-world, and seeing all the items on display in this wonderful museum experience up close! Best of all, if you have a VR headset and hand controllers, you can actually pick up many items to get a better look at them! (I bet you can’t do that in a real-world museum!)

Many items on display have an audio track that you can invoke to get a bit of an explanation of what you’re seeing (nobody else can hear it, just you!). If you’re clumsy and drop one of the collection items on the floor, you can hit a reset button on the pedestal to put it back in its proper place.

Just drop whatever you’re doing and come see this exhibition! Even if you’re not a Star Wars fan, it’s a wonderfully designed and executed experience, an excellent demonstration of Sansar’s potential for virtual museums, and absolutely worth your time.
