Join building “The Bank of the Future”

A unique open-source & co-creation project in SL

In the virtual world of Second Life you can join building the Bank of the Future and you get your own personal living space.
An open-source & co-creation project facilitated by ABN-AMRO Bank and students of the University of Gent (Belgium).
On the ABN AMRO sim in Second Life you can think about the realisation of the concept, discuss the architecture with the other community-members and actually build the Bank of the Future from the ground, together.

Besides this you can create, alone or together with other inhabitants, your ideal virtual living space in your personal unit, with view on the building area.
With the special Bank of the Future WIKI members of the community keep each other posted about their experiences and lessons learned and they share information.
In Second Life you are supported by technical highstands so all objects and information are public.
At the end of the project, that has no set deadline, the community will appoint four members who will, in the ABN-AMRO Dialogues House in Amsterdam, present the Bank of the Future to a crowd of architects and other branch-members.

Are you that (potential) Second Life builder with ambition? Do you want to share your knowledge and experiences and cooperate to this project that starts directly? Come to the ABN AMRO sims in Second Life and rezz the rules and Terms of Agreement from the yellow box and start!
