Ebbe showed the Wall Street Journal a short demonstration of Sansar at the WSJDLive conference.
In an apartment he moved a few items around, quite easily and with the use of a little Hand-held (virtual) device.
He also moved himself around by clicking a spot on the floor, we see an icon on the floor with two feet on them.
Going around a virtual world by clicking where to teleport is of course far from ideal but until we can get good and affordable omnidirectional treadmills that actually work well, this is a solution you can see in most virtual games, worlds, etc.
One of the presenters asked if he had any food in his apartment, unfortunately I have not yet been let in so he couldn’t even offer them a glass of schnapps.
Ebbe also mentioned that a few hundred users are now in Sansar, no I’m not one of them, I know, it is a scandal isn’t it?
How on earth do all those poor avatars manage surviving there without my schnapps?!
You can see the full video by clicking here.
On Twitter I also found a short video of Sansar Avatars.
They look pretty decent but the movement needs some work.
That Sansar logo on his virtual forearm control, looks very much like the Rogers logo. Rogers in the huge cable, internet and tv provider here in Canada. (the right half of Canada).

In Berlin, as in the whole of Germany, and any other German speaking country it’s spelled Schnaps; only one p suffices in the homeland of Schnaps. To spell it with double-p is typical stupidity by hardly literate, poorly educated Anglophiles.

To spell a word in German in an story that is completely in English would be silly.
Not to mention that there is also such a thing as auto-correct…
To post such a rude and childish comment is typical behaviour by badly brought up trolls.
