    Using Virtual Worlds to solve pervasive problems in the real world involves taking deep dives into the communities of need. This is where the resources are slime, but the consequences can be high.. But hype transforms into hope when you can change a life with the power of virtuality within hospitals, clinics, schools, museums, city hall and even in deep space exploration. However, no problem in the real world has been solved by just one discipline, one sector or one killer app. The use of Real World Laboratories have been modeled across the globe to conduct critical collaborations between diverse disciplines to focus on tough problems of the world. The discovery process breaks through by making creative leaps into the face of tradition
