The Next Thing

Lavalife and Harmony.com have a long way to go. Virtual reality dating is the wave of the future. Picture this: An avatar based on your real life pic coupled with virtual reality setting. You can go to dinner, movie, a show, a walk in the park without leaving your living room. The key would to a success rate is for the person to tell the truth about their characteristics and scan in a real and recent picture of themselves that would be converted into an avatar for the purposes of the simulation. The point of virtual reality dating would be to test drive the first date without the insecurity of meeting a complete stranger. This idea might sound weird but I know that someone out there is pondering on how to monopolize on this.

  1. An interesting idea, but it takes the fun and excitement out of dating and is just too similar to secondlife besides the fact that the avatar is required to be based on your real life pic. Then again who's to say I cant just upload a picture of Brad Pitt...
