I'm working on a project for a client that has a presence in Second Life, but wants their customers to register through their own site first. This is partly so they can customize the user's SL experience, and partly because some of the target audiences may not be familiar with SL. Putting aside the rather large question of whether SL is in fact the appropriate platform for what they're trying to accomplish (which has been raised repeatedly), I'm wondering if anyone can share examples of similar web/SL hybrid experiences.
The one I have found thus far that mirrors the approach my client wishes to take is the CSI:NY Virtual Experience: http://alpha.cbs.com/primetime/csi_ny/second_life/ http://csi-ny.reg.electricsheepcompany.com/join-secondlife/csi-ny/avatar The CSI web site has a registration wizard that allows you select a custom avatar, name, etc. Then, when you download and run the SL app, it drops you into a special CSI:NY orientation island that explains the rules of the CSI game. Is anyone aware of any similar registration processes - where the registration takes place partly or entirely outside of SL?
