Siemens PLM, the product life-cycle management division of Siemens, already has a presence in Second Life, and now it's using the virtual world to show off possible uses of CAD software like Siemens PLM Software's Solid Edge by creating a tool for users to design Razor Scooters. We've looked at ways virtual worlds could be used for rapid prototyping, and it seems as if Siemens is interested taking that approach while encouraging companies to use the virtual world to promote engagement with their developing devices. "This new tool is a great example of how companies can use some of the unique characteristics of the Second Life platform to create interactive experiences for their products," said Chris Kelley, vice president,
Platforms and Partners, Siemens PLM Software. "Our goal in Second Life continues to be to find new ways to collaborate with our customers and partners in an effort to provide a more immersive way to experience our software."
