<p>I like the idea of VR quite a bit, but I never saw the point of building games rather than experiences around the platform. So, when <em>Sansar</em> was announced, I was quite excited, and judging from the new trailer, I was probably right to be. If you haven&#8217;t read <a href="http://ift.tt/1NvC693">our earlier story on the platform</a>, <em>Sansar</em> is a social VR platform from Linden Lab, the creators of <em>Second Life</em>, that aims to gives us a huge virtual world ready to let players create all kinds of experiences. As you can see from the trailer below, <em>Sansar</em> might finally give us those VR worlds we&#8217;ve watched in movies and read about in books, and the developer&#8217;s experience making <em>Second Life</em> might help them actually pull it off.</p>

<p>You&#8217;ll be able to make your own objects and worlds in VR and, of course, monetize them. <em>Second Life</em> had online university classes and all kinds of other things going on (and yes, other things too), so imagine what can be done in VR. <em>Sansar</em> will be primarily for the PC, but it will be accessible via mobile devices upon consumer launch. What do you think? Would you be interested in such a VR experience?</p>
