Awesome!

Absolutely brilliant how he really actually used SL to its' true colours, speaking as a content creator.

I can see that he really had it well planned and could provide real time changes with the power that the SL build tools bring.

He's definitely right that the architects do need to be ready with the idea to be able to sketch models on the fly and having some prepared resources, even if they are initially rough, to be refined later.


In another way, you can say he really "gets it".

This makes me think of the Starwood Hotel design back in 2008.

THIS is why SL is cool. (one reason, anyway.)

kudos Jon.

Outstanding, Hamlet. Thanks for sharing this. These are the sorts of applications that will get our admins and peers interested in the .edu world.

I've already shared this with my class...we're reading Snow Crash now.

This is a long way from The Black Sun, but then most realizations of the future aren't quite what the visionaries imagine.

Great project, Jon. Keep up the good work! :)
