Connecting First And Second Life

The document discusses connecting the virtual world of Second Life to the physical world through concepts like "spimes" and the "Internet of Things". It describes how physical objects can be augmented to sense their environment and broadcast data about themselves and how prototypes of these ideas can be built in Second Life. It also talks about new technologies like Arduino boards that make it easy to program physical computing devices and how this could lead to more open and customizable physical objects.
