Cities and Geography in Second Life
- Creator:
- Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, UCL
- Decription:
- The work from from the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis has focused on representing cities and urban geography in Second Life. Based around a series of prototypes, it explores importing geographic information from professional packages into the virtual environment for purposes of outreach and public understanding of geo-science. The work ranges from 'Step Inside Urban Spheres' to 'Real-time Weather Data' with the areas acting as a 'sandbox' for experimentation. A number of new visualisations are planned in the near future.
