Today at 2pm Pacific, IDIA director John Fillwalk and his staff will be in Blue Mars (where I proudly consult) to talk about their massive immersive education site which recently launched in Blue Mars, featuring historical site recreations and sculptures that have been recreated by laser scanning the originals. For educators especially, I think it's a cool opportunity to learn and talk about 3D spaces as an pedagogical tool. IDIA, a lab with Ball State University, has also done several cool projects in SL, including this sim which hosts an AM Radio interactive art installation, so I'm sure John will have insights on working in both platforms. His Blue Mars avatar name is conveniently named "John Fillwalk", and he sports a black blazer and anime-flavored hair. I'll be there too, at least for awhile. Meet us at 2pm -- just go to the IDIA Lab city in Blue Mars (Blink teleport page here) and find us waiting for you then near the first spawn point. And if you haven't created a Blue Mars account yet, remember there's a special sign-up bonus of 1000 free BLU$ this month.
