Curious Sense is a new Durham start-up. We're launching a virtual world of music in the Fall of 2008. It's a 3D digital simulation of a beautiful city that will host a variety of interactive activities between artists, fans, and brands. The featured events will be simulcasts of real-world concerts and re-creations of past concerts - performed by animated characters that look and act like major performance artists. The world is comprised of venues, on-demand video theaters, fan hang-outs, shops, museums, and more.
Curious Sense is a strategy, design, and R&D agency that specializes in developing virtual world experiences. We're pre-business plan, and looking for help with research, projections, revenue modeling, etc. Also seeking feedback about design concepts.
