      2018 EDU: PEOPLE: Disabled? Not in virtual worlds. Lonely? Not in virtual wolds. Your avatar has superpowers!


      Disabled?  Not in virtual worlds.  
      Lonely?  Not in virtual wolds.  
      Your avatar has superpowers!

      “Our Digital Selves: My Avatar is me!” tells the story of 13 global citizens and their avatars as they transcend their various disabilities through artistic expression and making a home for themselves in the VR Metaverse.

      The film follows researchers Tom Boellstorff and Donna Davis as they facilitate deep connections between real human beings in virtuality by giving away digital land to build anything the participants of this project can dream up.

      2018 EDU: WW: LIBRARY: Teacher's web assistant brings museums, aquariums, web cams virtual worlds, libraries, games, and challenges


      Teacher's web assistant brings 
      museums, aquariums, web cams
      virtual worlds, libraries, 
      games, and challenges

      New web service is suggested to support teachers in accessing the extensive and growing educational resources of the web. It would be somewhat like library service, a multimedia service, and a student coach in one (portable) computer.   
      Empty classroom
      • Not a current headline.
      • But get ready for the future.
      • We can put virtual museums and art galleries on a browser.
      • Going there is as easy as going to Facebook.
      • We can put instructional games in the virtual museums.
      • Anyone can go there.  
      • Future:
      • Docents, multimedia helpers can be there.
      • Students can go there and talk to anyone there.

      2018 ART: EDU: Immersive theater in OpenSim: Scenes from Antony and Cleopatra


      Immersive theater in OpenSim:  
      Scenes from Antony and Cleopatra

      Outworldz presents a beautifully choreographed scene from Shakespeare play, performed by bots (in OpenSim we call them Non-Player Characters--NPCs).  The lines are delivered in text.  A group studying the play could assign group members to deliver the lines aloud. 

      SparkNotes 
      Antony and Cleopatra is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. The play was performed first circa 1607 at the Blackfriars Theatre or the Globe Theatre by the King's Men. Its first appearance in print was in the Folio of 1623. -- Wikipedia

      Go there 

      • HG address:
      • www.outworldz.com:9000 Egypt
      • Put the HG address in the Find bar of the World Map; click Find, TP
      • If this does not work, go to:
      • www.outworldz.com:9000 
      • Then use the World Map to find Egypt.
