Avatars can teleport between virtual worlds. This article has a cool demonstration of avatars teleporting between Second Life and Open Sim. The main topic of the article really hit the point of why virtual worlds will not survive in their current manifestation. Second Life could really be usefull if it could bridge the gap between virtual worlds and the web. I can imagine walking into a virtual store and purchasing a camera via my local electronics store web site. Would that concept allow the Linden to become a legitimate currency?
Bridging the UI of the virtual world and the web will become a challenge. If one of the virtual communities figures out how an avatar can easily interact with the web real value will be created. That could be the future between teleportation between the web, a virtual world and my real life.
