Dont forget our monthly mini unconference is on at the Islands of jokaydia tomorrow!
This month we have a fantastic session from jokaydia resident marlonj Myers, who is doing amazing things in two projects:
- The Pulsar Project: Second Life Tools for Educators is focussed on identifying, locating an create tools that are useful for teachers and students in Second Life.
- MMetaverseSurface Interactive Installation is a tangible interface to control avatars and objects inside Second Life or OpenSim.
There’ll also be updates on various projects on the Islands of jokaydia including Edusquare (Slurl), jokaydia SLoodling and some of our upcoming events.
We’ll finish up the Unconference with a short building tutorial! By special request from a number of residents on the Islands of jokaydia, we’ll be going through a quick demo and tutorial on using Builder’s Buddy to make ‘rez boxes’ which allow you to rez a set of unlinked items in configuration – sorta like a holodeck you can carry around in your inventory! ;)
Please note, this session is best suited to participants who have a basic understanding of the building tools in Second Life. If you’re completely new builder, please visit the Ivory Tower of Prims (SLurl) and check out their self-paced tutorials prior to our session to learn the basics!
Event Details:
- When: Sunday 5th April, 2pm AEST / 9pm SLT. Check your local time here
- Locations: We’ll be starting at the Pulsar Project Headquarters (SLurl) and then visiting the jokaydia Sandbox (SLurl) for our Builder’s Buddy session.
