Creativity and New Media
For this assignment I created and account on "Second Life", I didn't know about it before, it is kind of fascinating to see my avatar walking in a virtual world, there seems to be other users , not sure if these are the avatars of real people or is it still a demo. I noticed that wee can actually meet other people's avatars and can make friends. We can also shop here , everything seems perfect , there are so many worlds to explore. Although I am unable to take a screen shot , there was a problem and i was keep getting the following message while clicking the travel like for world. I think something was wrong with my computer. But I am still exploring it and find it very interesting.
Oh at first i didn't realize that we need to login the one we downloaded and then chose a category and explore it. Then choose a category and walk around chat with people's avatar, dance etc go shop and have fun. I entered into the "Satorini" and changed my appeareance and looked around a little bit, since still getting hold of my movements through arrow keys.

It's amazing the things we can do when creating an avatar. To me this assignment turned out to be like a game while learning new concepts.
ReplyDeleteI was not familiar with virtual worlds previous to this assignment, but I also found it fascinating. The places I could go to visit and interact people amazed me. I think the best part was that I knew people had similiar likes because they were in the same places as I was. It amazed me how much real life it was. I could do things such as walk around or go shopping for some new clothes. I am sure there are many other cool things we can do, and that I will discover those as time goes on.
