Tomorrow night, at 10 pm eastern time, 7 pm SLT, CSI: NY “Down the Rabbithole” will go on the air - detective Mac Taylor / Gary Sinise will have to follow a killer in Second Life, but he won’t find him/her until spring. In the meanwhile all viewers have a shot to catch the techno-savy murderer in the CSI island, or working shoulder to shoulder with pros at the Crime lab in Second Life.
The interesting thing is that the CBS network had to build a simplified interface to Second Life because the main one was considered too difficult for the average TV viewer - the OnRez viewer will combine Second Life features, like chat and teleporting, with services such as virtual shopping.
Definitely worth attending, I ll be there :-)
