How Do We Tell Affuso There are Naked Avatars Flying Through Our Teamcenter Booth?

UGS has opened the doors, so to speak, to its new island in Second Life, the online 3D playworld that is increasingly becoming a magnet for marketing ventures. UGS says it is the “first pure-play PLM company to establish a presence in the mainstream online virtual world,” and we don't doubt it for a minute. (Autodesk is playing with SL, too. But they HATE the term PLM, and for now it's a semi-private island. Makes us wonder what they are up to.)

Right now the island is being used as a customer showcase, but UGS says in the future they will use the site to “collaborate with customers and partners, host virtual conferences and provide a more immersive way to experience its solutions just as they are used every day by customers around the world.” Somehow I don't think Belgian Police Babes On Patrol represents “just as they are used every day by customers” in most companies now using PLM.

If you just can't wait to see what kind of furries hang out on a PLM island, visit www.ugs.com/secondlife.

Will this Belgian police officer be called upon to assist Second Life visitors at the new UGS Island?
