This exhibit left me with a feeling of great pride for the Second life Group that put this together. It's really the first time I saw this level of visual imagery quality with objects in this virtual world. The photogrpahy was out of this world. I really saw and felt the 3D effect and the interaction for the viewer that was provided was remarkable.
They are trying to move towards this kind of application for this platform and I finally got to see a display of their vision. There are quit a few good exhibits that have appeared on Second Life now but this ones the best 3D, interactive one that really demonstrated how in the future virtual worlds like Second life can be applied to so many other subjects either it be history, in the medical field or in the classroom.
They did a fantastic job. I placed of course my little avatar in there so you could see the scale of an avatar vs objects in the environment. What they did was no easy task and I hope to see another great example like this created once again.

I had originally filmed this April 30th and went back to find the interactive rezzable artifacts. That really made it interesting. I can see this being applied to possibly exploring the human body. Still amazed at the3D quality! Bravo!

Thank you Bettina Tizzy I'm glad you enjoyed that. I also loved the music.
I think this exhibit will have an impact on Second Life. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who put this together get phone calls from other curators from around the world after they see what they can tap into now. A whole new audience world wide.
There are so many bonuses that can come from this like merchandising along with the display to raise funds for their organizations.
