I took a visit to the homestead sim and learned a little bit about the benefits of SL to architects. The architect on this sim was able to communicate with someone in another country and build up mock-houses with the client in SL. The home was to be built in the states. No phone, no emails, no other exchanges except SL text-chat. Within a few hours, they had a mock-up home setup as well as an environment of the surrounding areas vinyard. It's neat to look at some of the sketches and blue prints around seeing how this all came about. I imagine a lot more architects will start using SL in the future (or similar programs).
