Sketches from Second Life

Some very initial ideas:Second Life could be an interesting place to set up a replay event of Rider Spoke. If we bought an island we could build a city/environment and invite participants to cycle finding audio embedded in objects. The island could be set to only allow participants with an invitation. Its possible to control the light so it could always be dusk. I built a version that was like the box of a cave thinking about the data produced by the finger printing as a journey shape we could follow. Would like to have an immersive version of SL in the CAVE. It would be great if the journey could work in SL on a power wall and in a CAVE.

Thinking of how to show different versions of the data, thinking of the diagrams lief showed us of the fingerprinting positions. Also of the surfaces of the road potholes the city as skin, and the glow of street lights. Underpass and google maps sometimes otherworldly, changes of focus. Cluster points would act as places where the audio would be triggered and a question is answered.
