What is envisioned is nothing short of a sophisticated make-believe world in which consumers can experience life virtually. For example, shoppers can buy virtual products, online simulacrums of a real item with which to adorn their avatar or can attend concerts and sporting events as virtual VIPs, buy expensive and unique works of art, drive virtual autos or yachts, travel and dine in special and exotic locations and more.
