Agora

Agora, another UK project, seeks to improve the experience of shopping for real-world items within virtual worlds such as Second Life. Virtual shop-fronts are generated from existing catalogues using IBM's WebSphere Commerce and additional functionality from Second Life, thereby marrying the power of existing commerce applications with the more immersive experience of a virtual world compared to a traditional web site. The Agora team has designed its infrastructure to be virtual-world-agnostic, allowing it to be plugged into other platforms apart from Second Life.
