The quick rundown from the SL Exhibit Meetup on Friday, Feb 1.
On Friday, we had a great meeting in Parkside Exhibit Workshop to discuss progress of The Tech in SL and exhibit projects people are working on.
First, we discussed new and exciting changes to The Tech in SL:
- Lydia Milner/Marie's project, The Painter, has been selected for creation in RL at The Tech! Many congratulations to Marie on her excellent work. You can follow the progress of this project in Parkside Hall or via its webpage, which now includes some Tech documentation on how this will be realized in RL.
- Help Wanted Signs for Projects. Per requests at last week's meeting, we now have help wanted signs in the Exhibit Frame area. Take a copy of one for free and place it with your exhibit space to solicit help with building, scripting, or other things.
- Exhibit Opening Weds Feb 6. On Wednesday at 10am LST, Keystone Bouchard (Jon Brouchoud) will install three of his exhibits from the Gallery of Reflexive Architecture outside Parkside Hall and will give a talk about his work. He will also share some code under Creative Commons for you to use to create your own sensor masterpieces.
- Terms of Service for building in Parkside Hall. We discussed the proposed Terms of Service, which are currently posted for review in Parkside Hall. They will be installed on the back wall of Parkside this week.
Then, we talked about the challenges of creating strong exhibits. Two participants are each pursuing separate projects to bring museums/historical sites into Second Life. We brainstormed a specific project based on historical "Magic Lantern" images, talking about creating a 3D landscape representing a 2D lantern slide in which you could walk "into" the slide and use some sensor effects to have the characters and landscape come alive. King Morrisey, Lydia Milner, and Oze Aichi are teaming up on this one and there should be a project reflected here on the website soon.
Then, some more cool exhibits went up in Parkside!
Join us this Friday at 10am PST in Parkside to continue these and other discussions...
