The Annex


Here is an update with pictures of the new VCM building nearing completion on Second Life Virtual World.

Our first gallery exhibit is planned for Midterm.

The building is smaller than the originally planned 1/5 of a region but still has three floors with a ground floor Gallery, a first floor classroom that will support to 25 avatars, and a second floor learning/resource area.

On the Oceanside of the property is an interactive Work Ethics garden.



Some points of interest about the Annex

a. Building has two elevators. ( use the big round one, other elevator still working on script).

b. Has two pets, ( kitties) Tuna Breath is fully scriptable, The other kitty, Shameous is actually scripted to an artificially intelligence server (A.L.I.C.E. Robotics Technology). The cat is way too smart. Ask him anything and he will come up with an answer. If he doesn’t know the answer –answers like a politician.

c. Classroom and Resource Center has big screen internet access, Big screen PowerPoint viewers and Picture kiosk that all can be configured for programmed instruction. Books are scripted to URLs.

d. The Work Ethics Garden is touch scripted, touch a poster and it revolves and discloses more information about work ethics traits.

e. Building is located near the only inter-sims (region) subway.

Want to visit?? Here is how . . .

You will need an avatar to visit, go to http://secondlife.com/ click on Get started button. It is best to sign up from home computer. Once you are an avatar and have gone through avatar training at orientation island ( will be a zoo - think of Ellis island- don’t skip the training!!!!)
