2022 Nature in the metaverse: NatureCon 2022 A collaboration. The metaverse is not a lonely place for those with experience there.

Nature in the metaverse: 

NatureCon 2022  A collaboration.  

The metaverse is not a lonely place for those with experience there.   

Collaboration is one of the main strengths of the metaverse.  That part of the technology is already working. 

• Watch on YouTube
• NatureCon 2022 is a two-week virtual conference seeking to unite and inspire collaboration between Bellisseria and Mainland organizations.

2022 Museums in the metaverse . Create a 3D Virtual Museum in minutes! Museums on your laptop, tablet, smart phone

Museums in the metaverse.  

Create a 3D Virtual Museum in minutes!  

Museums on your laptop, tablet, smart phone

Anything you can show in a museum, you can show in the metaverse.  That puts the museum in practically every home and school.

• Watch on YouTube
• Tutorial 6: Create a 3D Virtual Museum in minutes!
• This video has captions, please turn it on by clicking on the CC button at the bottom of the clip. 
• In this clip, I captured the ideation process for creating an example 'museum exhibit'. I show how I created a mini-museum featuring works from Pablo Picasso, literally in minutes (the duration of this clip). 
• Typically, a group of designers would log into our 3D virtual work area to help each other reach a common design. 
• The RezMela system is ideally suited for this process. It radically reduces exhibit design prototyping costs and produces tangible design solutions after live brainstorming sessions.

• Watch on You Tube

Second Life dance challenge from Better Gnomes and Garden shop in world, after hours of walking up and down the aisles I ran across these little fairy tale looking characters. Immediately I saw them popping out of a book and knew exactly how I wanted it to look. After planning it out and finding costumes for everyone I slowly started working on movers and fades. 2 days later after finding Abranimations Contemporary dances I knew quickly that these would be perfect.

NPC Bots

• All the actors featured are scripted NPC ( Non Player Character ) bots
• How to get NPC maker
• The NPC maker in the article above will duplicate the avatar that clicks on it
• and will animate the clone with an animation in the maker's contents.

The NPC Maker uses the function: osNpcCreate.  This function is marked as high threat and appears to have some undocumented limitations on who can use it in a particular sim.  It seems that use is limited to the sim owner and some others with high level authority in the owning group or in the sim.

Virtual Harlem is a representation of Harlem as it existed between 1920 and 1934, during the Harlem Renaissance era. Understanding the setting and lifestyle of this era is key for those studying in the Africana studies department at the UA, Carter said.  More:   UA students step into virtual city
