2017 BIZ: IMA: Virtual Worlds Fair has an initial site: OSCC, Thirza's HG exhibit: : A project of the HG Chamber of Commerce

Virtual Worlds Fair has an initial site:
Thirza's HG exhibit at OSCC:
A project of the HG Chamber of Commerce
AvaCon hosts the OSCC and provides a persistent site for the annual builds there.  This matches the Virtual Worlds Fair concept of a persistent collection of exhibits.    Thirza Ember has a special site there that tells about the Hypergrid.  That makes an excellent gateway to introduce newcomers to the worlds of the Hypergrid.  .  
Thirza Ember's hypergrid venue 
at the  OSCC fairgrounds

Objective

  • Publicize and promote the virtual worlds of the Hypergrid.
  • Provide a place for new people to get acquainted with offerings of the Hypergrid. 
  • Provide a place for communities and merchants to show their offerings.
  • Encourage promotion of Hypergrid worlds to the outworld.

Concept

  • The proposed Virtual Worlds Fair is a distributed place.
  • A collection of venues connected by hypergates.
  • It would have events sometimes to promote specific venues 
  • But the main feature will be persistent venues ready for visits any time.
  • So when you meet new people, you can give them a LM to the Fair grounds.

2017 WW: What DragNDrop for web-worlds means for inventories

What DragNDrop for web-worlds means for inventories
Now that we can drag and drop things to build in Cybalounge, we need to rethink the inventory.  We may prefer to keep our main inventories on our own computers, keeping inworld only the things we have rezzed there.

2017 EDU: Educational cartoons for kids: Could you make cartoons in a virtual world?

Educational cartoons for kids.   
Could you make cartoons in a virtual world?
Of course you could.  Would it offer any advantages?  A virtual world is a graphic engine.  It can produce animated graphics sequences with simple video capture.  Lots of scenery content is available for sale.  You can hire people to make content for you: avatars, objects, scenery.  You can rehearse the cartoon as much as you want.  Maybe it would cut the production cost to a price educators can afford.

    2017 EDU: WW: Are educators leaving virtual worlds? Or just going to lower cost places?

    Are educators leaving virtual worlds?
    Or just going to lower cost places?
    An article in Hypergrid Business announces "Educators sour on virtual worlds."    That conclusion may be too sweeping, since the evidence is limited to Second Life, but it is still useful to consider whether virtual worlds are living up to the potential that they once seemed to offer.
    Modern classroom

    Educators sour on virtual worlds by NUELA ADA · AUGUST 15, 2017

    Educators are souring on virtual worlds, as evidenced by declining participation in online forums, in virtual conference attendances and education-related destinations on the Second Life grid.....
