Earlier this week, a new type of vehicle was released into SL by cube3.com -- a vehicle that can transform into 3 separate configurations, depending on the medium being traversed: land, water, or air. The cubePOD is a sleek little unit, calling to mind the designs of Syd Mead, who most of you will know as the designer for the films Blade Runner and Tron.

"In a second world filled with nicely built but unoriginal replicas of real world cars, planes, boats, and TV starships, the cubePODz offer Metaverse users high level original product designs that can really only exist in this medium" said Cube3's Cube Inada, who designed the craft with Burke Prefect.

The company has plans to release more unique vehicles, such as the "Sunfish", a two person aircraft and the "Atlantia", a unique large "flying" luxury yacht/submarine. The cubePOD goes for 600L, and can be seen either at cube3's office in Theta, or at any of over 50 StarbaseC3 outposts across SL.

(Thanks, Cube!)
