The Iditarod in Second Life
The Iditarod is a huge event here in Alaska and the race kicked off this year just a couple of days ago on 01 March. The race was also commemorated in Second Life with a Virtual Iditarod. I wasn’t able to log onto over the weekend to attend the event, but Anchorage’s own Aliza Sherman [...]

Searching the Internet of Things: Overlay Concept
Designer Mac Funamizu has come up with an elegant conceptual solution for searching the environment that surrounds us. Beyond searching by text as we have become accustomed to with services like Google, the device searches by scanning an object from the environment itself.

Streaming Video from a Nokia N800

Configuring the 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator for Second Life
Finally, the SpaceNavigator works in Second Life with the SL Viewer Joystick Flycam function. Huh? What does this mean? Well, it’s possible to use the SpaceNavigator for more smooth camera control than using a mouse while filming machinima. Note that the SpaceNavigator doesn’t give you as much control as a mouse does, but the camera [...]
