Infinite Vision Media Social Responsibility Initiative Offers High-End Services to Second Life Bound Non-Profits

By almost any measure, the gold rush in virtual worlds is here.  Infinite Vision Media is taking a step to ensure non-profits can stay with the pack with the introduction of their Social Responsibility Initiative.

Drew Stein, CEO of IVM tells me that the “IVM-SRI” is an end-to-end suite of services for non-profits and academic institutions to tap into the same enterprise-level creative and development services large brands can command.  IVM will be offering pro-bono services to structure the projects while assisting each non-profit to access and secure funding resources.

In conjunction with their Social Responsibility Initiative announcement, IVM disclosed they will be undertaking the pro-bono development of the American Cancer Society’s headquarters in Second Life.

As the demand for virtual world services heats up, so goes the retail prices for services to develop 3D content projects.  Developers will naturally be more than tempted to put greater attention and resources to easy-come, well-paying projects from corporate brands.

IVM’s initiative will level the financial playing field for their clients and help bring important and worthy projects into 3D spaces.
