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:
“Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
