This week I took a stroll along Renaissance Island. This seemed to be a virtual Renaissance fair. I was, upon telephoning in, greeted by a brown horse who kindly offered to give me a guided tour. I respectfully declined and wandered about the island on my own.
Upon further exploration I discovered a jousting ring fully equipped with a bracket and score board. I was extremely interested to see what these games actually look like in Second Life and how they play out. As I thought this I suddenly wished I had not declined the horses offer.
I did find a video tutorial link to what appears to be a delightful turn-based fencing game that can be played in Second Life. I've included the video below:
After mucking about in the 16th century I decided to join a group. I found a very interesting organization which has dedicated itself to the propagation of immersive education. Primarily they seem to deal with providing immersive educational experiences for use by corporations, museums, and universities. They also provide training and certification programs as well as conferences.
