A lab experiment or a whole new frontier? Nightclubbiz.com has been test piloting virtual nightclub concepts in a highly sophisticated 3D physics environment. Now, some may be thinking ahhh… So like a new game? NO! Hard to explain… We're operating a fully functioning nightclub with music, DJ's, events, dancing, mingling, romance, and almost all the attributes parallel with a real life nightclub, except for liquor of course. We've developed a core following, mass appeal, and high addiction to the environment.
Some of you may be trying to envision what this actually looks like. Not what you may expect in this case… This is an open-air venue, which resides on 16 acres of warm tropical island. The main dance floor floats on water and… You're surrounded in waterfalls, palm trees, and a lush tropical atmosphere. The music is sexy and so are the people. What the hell is Nightclubbiz.com involved in here!!! LOL… Read on and you'll see.
Is the concept product or experience based? Both, but not in the standard order. We're engineering concepts, which facilitate several key factors necessary in establishing a highly optimized socially interactive environment. Our core focus is 'enhanced' environmental refinements, which stimulate the flow of social interaction as it was intended to play out.
This is in complete contrast to conventional bricks and mortar environments that default to randomized social interaction, or certain types of social introductory services, which utilize primitive technologies in attempts to override the natural process of first contact. In essence we set the stage... We then allow people to take it from there.
A more progressive rational to engineering social environments If you can manage the human factor through environmental design, the flow of social interaction will occur WITHOUT intervention on behalf of the sponsoring entity. This is what the corporate dinosaurs have yet to understand.
As one example, the antiquated online dating concept is premised largely on the use of "magic algorithms", which promise to take the guesswork out of meeting another, compatible human being. Oh and did we mention? These so-called magic algorithms are implemented by PhD's with a focus in marriage counseling. Uhhhh, since when do PhD's leap from the armchair and into writing computer algorithms? That's QUITE A LEAP! Almost miraculous.. ;)
Anyone smell something funny in the air?… Sniffs… Almost smells like capitalism, buzz, and oh… What have we here!… False hope in return for profit? That is quite a brew going on there. Can anyone else smell this?
Ok seriously now. Here's the reality… There are some phenomena's within our universe that can NOT be and will NEVER be fully understood. The chance of love is one of them. Why are two people attracted to each other? Why is there chemistry occurring in one pair, but not the other? And what exactly is chemistry between two people? Can we really explain this to any discernable degree?
The answer is no… You want it summed up? It is a game of chance in its purest form. Therefore, claiming a silly website or manmade algorithm can crack this 400 year old mystery is comparable to claiming something as outlandish as…. We have a machine that knows EXACTLY where lightning will strike next!!! There some things where you simply need to let nature take its course and the concept of love is one of them…
In conclusion, if photo-shopped pictures, overly exaggerated profiles, magic algorithms, and old school websites riddled in pop-ups and Spam are working so well… How come this 17-year old industry can't capture much more than 1.3% of the broader level singles arena, which nears 100-million people in the U.S. alone?
Just allow nature to take its course… Sounds pretty ideal doesn't it? Oh my goodness… The concept of allowing people to think for themselves? How dare we make such a suggestion! SMITHERS!!!! Crush the peasants!
Build it and they will come? Try… Engineer an 'ideal' environment… Stimulate the right attributes… Now takes your hands OFF… Sit back... And observe nature take its course
In more specificity… By utilizing common sense, research and analytics, we are able to enhance a social environment through design, and align it with well-known triggers, logical impulses, and an anticipated result. These human factors are responsible for making the desire / fulfillment / interaction process seem natural and progressive, as opposed to unnatural by means of irrelevant intervention ploys. Logically, the more favorable the environment is to facilitating the desired objectives, the longer people stay… The higher the rate of return, and the more promising the results.
It's actually working right at this moment in at least two pilot projects. These environments are not fully critiqued as of yet, but the ultimate objective is being achieved… People are socializing, mingling, courting, dating, and… We can announce at least 3 real life marriages, which spawned just in these trials alone. Read carefully… We did NOTHING to directly intervene. We merely created an environment conducive to allowing first contact between two people to occur naturally.
Where is Nightclubbiz.com taking it from here? Well for one, more testing and refinement of these concepts is necessary. We need to test them across two or more simulators (in seamless configuration) in order to significantly increase venue capacity. We also plan to test several more variants of the core concept. Up to this point, much of this research has been conducted on simulators under agreement with the operators of them.
Anyone want to invest in our concept? Now that's a formal business offering! Seriously though... In short we're looking for seed funding, or cash infusion from a private source to assist in further project development. Anyone interested in more project details should contact us.
The future belongs to those who see it coming…
