Highly recommended places to visit in Second Life Destination Mars What would happen if an asteroid impacted on Mars? http://slurl.com/secondlife/Exploratorium/160/123/23 Destination Mars - A Meteor Impact Simulation on the Surface of Mars.Experience a scale model of a Martian asteroid impact. The model crater is 50 m in diamter and the model runs in slow motion at 1/10th the speed of an actual event. This is a highly sophisticated Second Life build found at the Exploratorium Project Director: Patio Plasma Model Building & Scripting: Emileigh Starbrook Particle Systems Scripting: Debbie Trilling Brownian Motion Another exhibition by Emileigh Starbrook http://slurl.com/secondlife/Exploratorium/160/123/23 Brownian motion (named in honor of the botanist Robert Brown) is the random movement of particles suspended in a liquid or gas or the mathematical model used to describe such random movements, often called a particle theory. Here you can experience what it might be like. Inspire Space Park Ultra Natural Space Destination in ShindaIns Meditate in a cosmic orbit in an ambient galaxy, tai chi in the planets, spin, slowdance, take an orbital ride in outerspace. Experience zero gravity! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Shinda/27.214.17 Science Friday NPR's weekly science news program, broadcast live on radio stations nationally and here in Second Life 11 AM - 1PM Fridays. The island is a part of scilands, Second Life's premiere science location. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Science%20Friday/205/250/23 Exploratorium What can a museum do in a virtual world that would be difficult—or impossible—to do in the real world? Exploratorium media creators and educators have been exploring this question by experimenting in Second Life (SL), a large, multiuser, three-dimensional online virtual world. You visit this world as an “avatar” (a representation of yourself), and through your avatar’s eyes explore areas and features made by other people or by institutions, or create new environments—or parts of them—yourself. Social interaction is one of the most important features of SL; you can use instant messaging, gestures, or chats to communicate with others. You can also have experiences that are impossible in the real world—from flying anywhere in SL to soaring through the solar system to altering gravity. What you do depends on your curiosity and creativity, which makes it a perfect playground for the Exploratorium. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Exploratorium/128/178/32 Visit their website at http://www.exploratorium.edu/worlds/secondlife/ Immersive Reflexive Architecture http://slurl.com/secondlife/Princeton%20South/86/90/42 DynaFleur - An Immersive Art Installation Concept & Graphics : Douglas Story Scripts: Desdemona Enfield Douglas Story & Desdemona Enfield Dizzy Banjo - music and sound Poid Mahovlich – terraforming " DynaFleur presents the almost abstract close-up floral photography of Douglas Story in a very unusual way. The monumental and colorful installation is cradled by a specially commissioned landscape created by Poid Mahovlich. As you walk (and fall) through it, you are immersed in the densely layered sound design of Dizzy Banjo which is tailored to accompany the movements of the elements of the piece that surround you, all of them moving and changing in response to your presence. This magic is powered by complex scripts written by the talented and energetic Desdemona Enfield, which in turn were based on the open-source Reflexive Architecture scripts made available by Keystone Bouchard and his group". http://dynafleur.blogspot.com/
