Upload your Real body to a Virtual Avatar !

Imagine you, a die hard Cryonics enthusiast waking up after 1,000 years into a computer simulation. As per current speculations, you would first need an avatar to interact. The currently available virtual world, Second Life already has a similar place where you can upload your real life picture and obtain a close likeliness in your virtual avatar. However, you can always do this yourself. As with the real world, there are service providers who do this for you for a fee. I visited this cool place called Avatar Island in second life and found that there is a machine to do this sort of thing. I have made a movie of my visit to the place.

I did not take up the service. I simply cannot afford it. But, the notecard I received for the process is quite interesting especially if you consider second life to be a very close and accurate extrapolation of a future existence :
