Second Life for science

Yesterday we had also an extensive demo of Second Life, the virtual world. Karl Harrison from Oxford University had built the "Oxford island" inside the Second Life world, to test how this concept could help science teaching. I do not understand how this concept could help, but surely the world has an interesting interaction model.

Similar experience a grandmother participant to the conference that meets her grandchild in a virtual world park.

Mario,
Would you happen to know the SLURL for Oxford Island? It sounds interesting.

You might also want to check out our efforts to represent molecular docking in Second Life.

No, I don't know the SLURL, but the presentation was done by Karl Harrison (Oxford University, UK). Hope it helps!
