If you’re like me, you kind of use a “click it and see where it takes me” approach to Second Life. On this particular day, I was in a Sci Fi mood and did a search and came up with the usual suspects. A couple of links in and I came across a place called Novatech HQ & Sci-Fi Mall.
After rezzing on the teleport pad, I looked around at my immediate surroundings. I was greeted by numerous view screens offering everything from VR systems, role playing features, time capsules, and even elevators. “This is cool”, I thought. Then I decided to enter the main mall.
I was duly impressed! There are four pillars in the octagonal atrium that are not quite trees, with a not quite leafycanopy at ceiling level, centered with a compass medallion. At each rail of the upper three stories are planter boxes with greenery. And a lovely fountain in center court. If Novatech was cool, and the mall was this awesome, I had to check out ALL the stores!
I wasn't disappointed. Every one of the 24 or so stores is SciFi or science related. Themes range from Star Trek (Classic and TNG), Doctor Who, and quite a few I didn't recognize. Time to catch up on my reading! On the uppermost level, rather than a food court. The designers thoughtfully placed a simple walkway with large picture windows for people to gaze out and observe the world this mall is located in. While I didn't try to go outside to explore, it looked very appealing.
Teleport Now!
