Virtual world avatars on one site

Advertisement

Francesco Dorazio designed Myrl, a site to store avatars, or characters, for forums like Second Life and Habbo Hotel.

The portal allows people to place their characters in one place, then receive live feeds from each of the 'hangout' locations.

They can also transport themselves from Myrl to the virtual social networking sites where they have avatars.

The social gateway has been on display at the Virtual World Forum in London.
