Gartner predicts enterprises will create dress codes for avatars

Submitted by Starr Sonic on 13 October 2009.

This video is now particularly interesting given the recent news that by the end of 2013, "70 percent of enterprises will have behavior guidelines and dress codes established for all employees who have avatars associated with the enterprise inside a virtual environment."

Also within the article is a comment by futurist Mike Lorrey, that corporate clients may be worried about "the oddballs in the office showing up as dragons, fairys, or in other wear that wouldnt be acceptable even on casual friday in a real office."

Well Hydra, I'd love to hear your take on that! :)
