2018 WW: EDU: Wanted: mesh museum content for 3DWebworldz and other browser-based virtual worlds

Wanted: mesh museum content for 3DWebWorldz 
and other browser-based virtual worlds
Web-world developers have established that mesh objects of the kind that are loaded into virtual worlds can also be loaded into web-worlds.  3DWeb-worldz is now seeking to demonstrate the capability to create mini-museums in web pages.  For that 3DWeb-worldz needs content suitable for a museum.  
International Spaceflight Museum 
  • A few rockets from the ISM, for example.
  • Goal: Illustrate how web-worlds can be used to create "Museums for the Home."
  • Needed: Collections of mesh objects suitable for display in a museum.
  • Not full museum content.  Museum seedlings.
  • 3DWeb-worldz is a professionally-built web-world.
    •

What kind of content?

  • Art, statuary, installation art.
  • Science and technology: museums.
  • Cars, trains, planes, ships, rockets.
  • Historical clothing. 
  • Practically anything over 80 years old (except me).

Teleports in Cybalounge, in location 
and to another location 
Updated 4/7/2018
You can set the landing point in Cybalounge, but the area is 512 X 512 meters (512 meters = about 1/3 mile). You may have important places scattered all over that area. People want to go fast. For that you need a teleporter prim.

          2018 HEAD: EDU: What is Consciousness Good For?

          What is Consciousness Good For?
          What is Consciousness Good For? How much of what we do is driven by the automatic and the unconscious? Science has revealed that a surprising amount of our behaviour is driven by unconscious automatic systems in our brain. In fact, conscious thinking can sometimes get in the way of smooth performance.


          Barry Smith, Director of the Institute of Philosophy, School of Advanced Study, University of London and Nicholas Shea, Philosophy Professor at King's College London, present a new research project bringing together philosophy, psychology and neuroscience to explore the purpose of consciousness.

          2018 TKR: You can tell the doers from the talkers. So pick who you want to work with

          You can tell the doers from the talkers.
          So pick who you want to work with.

          To recognize the doers, listen for the clues in what the person says

          • Active verbs. 
          • Things you can imagine happening.
          • Results you can see.  
          • Who is going to produce those results.
          • How somebody is going to make those things happen.
          • These clues missing?  That's a talker.
