Loyola Marymount University in Second Life

Produced by Dr. Richard Gilbert, Professor of Psychology at Loyola Marymount University, this machinima provides an overview of Loyola Marymount Virtual University (LMVU) - - LMU's growing campus in the virtual world of Second Life. Featuring Psychology Island, the virtual home to Dr. Gilbert's P.R.O.S.E (Psychological Research on Synthetic Environments) Project, Language Island, Engineering Island, and Computer Science Island, the 3D campus marks what Dr. Gilbert and his colleagues expect to be just the beginning of LMU's presence in a virtual platform that is well suited for conducting immersive education and research projects. LMU's virtual faculty hope that you enjoy this animated video, created as a mixed media project using footage shot in both Second Life and on the university's 'real world' campus located in Los Angeles, CA.

that would be insane I hope the future is different I mean everyone would get fat and just life in a virtual life

[ChantalHarvey]

@xoYaSsYox - it does not take a virtual addition to day to day life to get people fat. Virtual worlds are perfect for learning - no travelling involved, and disabled ppl can easily access too. There has been serious research done: students appreciate virtual learning in combination with real life classes.
