Tuesday, April 26, 2005 | 4:30PM–5:15PM | San Francisco A/B (1B theatre level)
Session Type: Professional Development
Technical developments in MMVWs continue to advance dramatically. In this session, we will tour Second Life, a MMVW created by each user and simultaneously played by hundreds of people around the world. As we demonstrate educational possibilities, we will also introduce a vision mechanism for incorporating MMVWs into teaching and learning strategies.
