Hi there,
We’re getting ready for our presentation next week on Second Life Museums.
Museums in Second Life
Chair: Paul F. Marty, Assistant Professor, Florida State University, College of Information
Participants: Richard Urban, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign , Troy McConaghy, International Spaceflight Museum Rob Rothfarb, Exploratorium
Museums have been exploring the use of multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) for more than a decade. This session will present an overview of the nature, diversity, and evolution of museums and museum-like activities in Second Life (SL). The panelists, representing both researchers and developers in SL, will draw upon their experiences and expertise to explain how museums can use SL to expand their online offerings into 3-D MUVEs. Using detailed examples and illustrations, this session will serve as a guide for museum professionals interested in establishing a virtual presence for their museums in Second Life.
See you in Chicago!
