Introduction to Second Life for GEO 493
Below are the presentation and links mentioned in my visit to John Bailey’s GEO 493 class…
Presentation about Second Life Using Stixy
Yesterday I gave a couple of small presentations about Second Life to small groups using Stixy instead of PowerPoint.There wasn’t a lot of time to prepare for these, so I collected images, some were mine and some I found on Flickr, included the proper attribution to the photos and was finished.
Unfortunately, for both presentations […]
Importing 3D Models Into Second Life
|| This post is updated regularly. ||
I’ve been gathering a list of resources on the conversion process for bringing existing 3D models on to the Second Life platform. I’m dumping them here so I have a way to get back to them - maybe they will be useful for someone else.
There are various tools people […]
Finding Textures for Second Life Projects
Virtual worlds like Second Life make it easy to create our own content, but not all of us have the time or talent to create our own textures. As educators we often find our budgets rather limited too. In addition to the various free textures you can find in Second Life at flea markets and […]
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 […]
Webcasts from the MIT Media Lab
There are links on Bob Sutor’s blog to the webcasts from the Virtual Worlds: Where Business, Society, Technology & Policy Converge Conference, presented by IBM and the MIT Media Lab in June of this year. There are some interesting thoughts on how virtual worlds will change how we think of identity in the future.
While digging […]
SL Quirkyness in Meatspace
Thank goodness meatspace doesn’t suffer from the same buggy afflictions often encountered on the Second Life grid. If it did it would certainly be as humorous as this video spotted on YouTube:

Find Voice Enabled Parcels in SL
The Voicemap is available now at secondlife.com and allows you to see which areas have the voice feature enabled. There are a number of locations already and more are added each day.
One thing that caught my attention about this map is that it is using the Google API.
SL Framework for Drupal
Looks like a Drupal Second Life Framework will be released in the near future. The release is dependent on the release of the web site (and web app) of the company which sponsored the development. Framework by 2bits.
Learn a Second Language in Second Life
LanguageLab.com is now open for beta testing. Students will be able to sign up for language classes that meet entirely in Second Life.
Classes are small, generally 6 to 8 students, and run for 50 minutes. Events are larger scale learning experiences that allow students the opportunity to practice their new language in realistic settings, with […]
