The Community Virtual Library is building a Hypergrid Resource Library in Avacon and Kitely with the goal of providing resources and tips for navigating across virtual world grids. Alongside CVL's database, the CVL Hypergrid Resource Library will be crowdsourced by educators, artists, and subject area specialists to share best simulations and managed by trained librarians.
James Olmos is a professional songwriter, photographer, and health advocater who finds creative outlets through life's moments. He writes simple songs about complex, real-life moments that help you rediscover your purpose and enlighten you.
Libertybelle Lyric has been singing her whole life. She started in church singing gospel and then later on in life, she sang around town for years. She loves singing country songs and the occasional rock n roll!

Tour an example of what is possible from a multi skilled team - 1 author, 2 actors, 1 audio mixer, 1 builder in opensim, 1 OpenSimulator server owner (all volunteers) to create an innovative experience of reading. The body being embedded - thanks to Opensimulator system - we can augment possibilities for humans to experience feelings through more of their senses.
Techland is an OpenSim based virtual world. It is a group of educational and service islands focused on math and science for middle school students, K6 and K8 degree. Techland evolved from a simple classroom teaching support to collaborative platform for scientific projects, where students improve their building and coding skills, moving from the role of simple users to content and objects creators.
A conversation on bridging worlds and the extension of OpenSimulator content usage.
In the past year, both Infinite Metaverse Alliance (IMA) and Thales Group worked to create new applications in which Open Simulator is used and add to enhanced usability of Open Simulator. The work of IMA and Thales is in general directed toward broader use of the Metaverse for Public, Education, Industry and Government.

The future has to have a foundation in the present, right? That's why the presentation will start with a showinng of the machinima that was created out of the contributions to 1Biennale shown at Santorini Biennale IMMERSIVIA 2018. The video has the title Touching Reality and was made by the Italian videographer WizardOz Chrome. Then the predictions will be made.

ComunicArte is a VR tool for training the ability of public speaking. It shows an environment where the speaker confronts a virtual audience that reacts in real time to the speaker's features, such as voice or gestures, and to his or her biometrics (heart rate or skin conductivity among others). In this talk, we present the first unit of experience of this tool, in which we measure the feelings projected by the speaker’s voice tone and his or her gaze direction.

Panel participants will provide the background on how virtual machine software was used to virtualize Firestorm and Singularity viewers which expanded student and faculty access to the Tulane SoPA Metaverse OpenSimulator virtual world. The resulting virtualized viewer allowed full access to an OpenSimulator virtual world on an early iPad and other mobile devices.

Challenged to set a vision for technology usage and to create a community within 100% online graduate programs at SUNY/Empire State College, several faculty members began working in 2006 within the college’s Second Life islands. In 2013, the college instituted the Master of Arts in Learning and Emerging Technology (MALET) program, however, the institutional support for the Second Life islands was dwindling. Fortunately, the cost-effectiveness and rapidity of development of open-simulator virtual-reality (

Storytelling is an excellent way to engage visitors in a historical region that doubles as a shop for both historical and modern items. One example, Opensimulator, offers a built-in parcel system and parcel streaming audio - both of which can be used to tell a story while setting the historical areas apart from the store. Shop items can help retain the immersion of the historical setting for teaching or entertainment while allowing visitors to enjoy shopping within a story. Another example, Sinespace, makes

Where it's a zombie apocalypse, a realistic simulation of oral surgery or a book come to life, what matters is if the environment allows you to immerse yourself. Our experiences and the research give us numerous constructs to consider immersion. We'll cover immersion, flow, presence, cognitive absorption, suspension of disbelief, embodiment and more . We'll contrast the authentic with NPIRL or not possible in real life to discuss how much immersion or authenticity is really needed.

OpenSim is great for developing history builds that give a view of a environment at a particular point in time. However, builders may also wish to understand and convey how a particular environment has evolved across multiple timepoints. Accordingly, this presentation discusses possible approaches to representing the passage of time in history builds taking as its subject the iconic early railway stations at Liverpool Crown Street and Lime Street.
