Hi all, I work for a university library and our management is looking for a way to create instructions on how to use the library (say, for new students).
They have been thinking about various alternatives - ranging from audiotours on iPods, via a series of live action video's and even some homegrown chimaera's of powerpoint and video. I have been trying to raise their interest in considering using OpenSimulator as an environment to either create instructional video's in; or maybe even to create a "virtual library" in which one could walk around using a Hippo or SL client, which would open up a wealth of possibilities such as in-world presentations, instructions and whatnot, but which would also require the user to use these viewers. For the first alternative; using OpenSimulator to create instructional video movies with, I have created some quick-and-dirty examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvirBIRHCrg http://s625.photobucket.com/albums/tt333/melleth_luthien/?action=view¤t=vitrines_final.flv but I wonder whether there would exist other, better worked-out examples that might make them enthusiastic for the idea. Also, I would be very interested in any document, blog or other text - preferably from some authoritative source (you know how managers think ...) which would be supportive of the use of opensim in a context like this. I'd appreciate any help, thanks in advance! - luthien _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users
