Last Tuesday I went to the Tech Museum in San Jose for the Grand Opening of their new exhibit "NetPl@net." The exhibit is created to inspire people to use the internet in new ways.
Linden Lab has contributed an exhibit called "Virtual World" consisting of 8 computers in a circle, networked together, with a simplified version of SL on them.
Ryan Linden headed the software conversion for the exhibit and did a beautiful job!
Museum visitors can "design their own characters, interact with other visitors, fly around, ride a Jet Ski, build 3D objects, and solve puzzles."
As soon as the exhibit opened to the public every single computer station was immediately filled - kids were crazy about it! It was by far the most popular exhibit.
Thanks Lindens for all your efforts both in and out world.

Thanks for posting about this, Sinatra -- I didn't know about this before, so I'm glad that now, they do! So there IS a "downscaled" version of SL out there... hmmm!  I'm curious, which Jetski was being ridden... was it the Frantastic one? |

Heh, Ben was telling us about this months ago - Apparently it's the reason LL is making the teen grid. (for those who dont know the details, it's an 8 computer grid, completely isolated from the internet)

From: Torley Torgeson I'm curious, which Jetski was being ridden... was it the Frantastic one? I don't know Torley. From: Adam Zaius ...for those who dont know the details, it's an 8 computer grid, completely isolated from the internet. Yes, Adam. The players can only interact with each other. |
