Second Life based Conference

I attended the conference I mentioned earlier in Second Life. It was very interesting. They had some problems with voice, getting the levels right, and getting clear sound, but other than that it was technically pretty good.

We started looking at a collaborative space where the group had worked to put together an interactive display on preventative medicine. They had boards up all over with their notes and diagrams they used in their meetings. Then they took us down to the acutal space where the display/interactivity area was. Very cool. My boss and I figure that within a few years we will be able to teach our courses in a virtual world, with instructor and student avatars interacting in real time, in a virtual space.
