Virtual MTV

Virtual MTV, more commonly known as vMTV, is a collection of virtual worlds under the MTV Networks umbrella.

vMTV includes seven separate virtual worlds, each based on an MTV television show.

  • Virtual Laguna Beach
  • Virtual Hills
  • Virtual Pimp My Ride
  • Virtual Backstage Pass
  • Virtual Skate Park
  • Virtual America's Best Dance Crew

In early 2008, MTV partnered with Paramount Digital Entertainment and Los Angeles-based developer FanRocket to launch the two companies' VooZoo application in vMTV, allowing users to communicate via scenes and lines of dialogue from the Paramount movie library. In early 2009 MTV planned to close down Virtual MTV on February 19, 2009. vMTV will be replaced by a Flash-based virtual world vMTV 2D which is currently in Alpha testing.

Famous quotes containing the word virtual:

    Neither dead nor alive, the hostage is suspended by an incalculable outcome. It is not his destiny that awaits for him, nor his own death, but anonymous chance, which can only seem to him something absolutely arbitrary.... He is in a state of radical emergency, of virtual extermination.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
