Virtual Bucharest to cost €30,000 annually

“We acquired from Linden Lab, the company which owns this network, a virtual island with some 65,000 real square meters, which costs over €4,000 annually, in which we have already built part of Revolutiei Square,” said Tatu.

Chase Corp. wants to provide Romanian companies with the opportunity to advertise online in a virtually recreated Bucharest. “We are the only Romanian agency which allows Romanian companies to benefit from advertising services in a three-dimensional online network,” said Tatu. The 3D city, open 24/7, will simulate buildings, streets, and shops. Thus, Romanian companies can test the effectiveness of virtual marketing.

“At present, Second Life has almost 16 million registered users, its own economy and currency, and the value of daily transactions exceeds €1 billion,” addedTatu.

The company is allocating some €30,000 annually for the technological support of the project.
