I think Lisa Galarneau has it exactly right in her prediction that vanity multi-user online graphical environments are going to be the next hot trend in virtual worlds and simulations. She was writing in response to the announcement of Planet Michael, a vanity virtual world environment based loosely on Michael Jackson’s life, music and imaginings that will be released late in 2011. While the announcement is somewhat derisive, it’s possible to see some real potential for public figures in this concept.
