'With technology, market interest, hardware and software available, now is the time to give it another big shot. Ambitions which include launching a completely new version of Second Life, as well as making it work with the now-Facebook-owned Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. Now, in 2014, it has a new chief executive and renewed ambitions to break out of its niche.
