1:00 p.m. - 1:50 p.m.
KCELT 153 Computer Classroom
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has created one of the best builds I've seen in Second Life. They're using this virtual world to present earth science concepts in three-dimensional immersive experiences for the general public. Flying a plane into a hurricane, riding a weather balloon or watching the development of a tsunami are just a few of the exhibits that your avatar can interact with.
Brandon Lynge will be our guide and he will explain how NOAA uses the virtual world of Second Life to present scientific data in two and three dimensions.
We will be projecting this tour onto the big screen, so you don't need an avatar to attend. If you decide to navigate the tour in Second Life, just meet us in the courtyard on NOAA's Meteora island. Click here for the SLurl. This will open a Web page with the teleport.
I hope you can join us on Monday for the tour.
