Building A Vehicle
Vehicles serve two purposes, one they provide an "in space" representation of you in a collaborative environment. In inter-personal settings travelers use avatars to represent themselves, but in wider spatial environmernts they use vehicles. Two they are a specialized version of the more generic i Platform and allow custom apps, services, utilities, data sets, libraries, guide services and more. The idea behind a vehicle is to equip it with the tools and instruments you need to interact with the types of mindspaces you will be traveling in.
There are two options for getting a vehicle:
- You can build or manufacture a vehicle in the vehicle factory.
- You can go to the vehicle rental and rent an already constructed vehicle
Vehicles can take upto an hour or two to build depending on the level of customization. Vehicles can be customized and they can be published to a group, community, class, or the general public. They are a potential source of traveler side revenue.
