You can use the keyboard and the mouse to control your character I
believe. It says for the "controling your character" use that you
can use both. I'm just not sure as of yet what the comands are.

i doubt we can play as it says on the signup screen that we need
the mouse?
forget it
does this mean then that the whole of second life is usuable or
just this "virtual island" that we are placed on

You didn't mention where to register and so on...? Could you post
the URLs we need to know? Actually I'd like to try this out :) Do
one need to pay something to use SL?
Wich kind of dog is that guide dog? Is it a black beautyful
Labrador retriever?

Hi all,
Yesterday, while attempting to find updates on this project
since the blind second life blog doesn't seem to be updating
anymore with this new-found info, I'll say it below.
Luise Later, an SL real life visually impaired (Not totally
blind) user created both a cane and a guide dog, scripted, mind
you, to alert us of portals etc when navigating. I don't know
what the difference between the cane or guide dog are, or
weather you need both of them, but regardless the items are free.
She also uses a SL screen reader (Well I think it's being made
into one) called EVA, which speaks objects around you. Don't ask
me how that works. I just created my SL account from Virtual
Ability which, BTW, makes the account sign up for second life as
accessible as filling out a form. An accessible form, that is.
Oh, did I mention audio captcha?
And since I'm also sending this out to Mac lists, I'll just say
this. I haven't tried the SL client yet with VoiceOver. Thus, I
have yet to find out if you can even interact with anything for
even just logging in. I guess logging into SL is accessible on
the windows side. I'll be trying this all out tomorrow, asuming
I don't have any homework. And before I forget, the cane/dog
development team does have one totally blind developer, so it's
not just VI working on the project. Sure, it's only one, but at
least he's giving feedback to the project for totally blind users.
The reason why we can't use it on Mac is just one problem, even
if you can login with VO. Eva. Eva is for windows only. Without
that, we can't communicate and hear what's around us.
Okay. Well, here is the blog posting on the promotion of Luise's
presentation on this which we all mist.

Hope to see all you guys who like testing an incompleted product
to come join me. I'd hate to do this alone with the team. Or, at
least, I think I'd be the only one...
thanks for reading
