The Project
We received a $5.1MM WIRED Grant to explore interactive digital technology in our 29 county region of Ohio. We have many University resources in our region in Ohio University, Kent State University and Shawnee State University. Those three institutions have over 700 graduate and undergraduate students in IDT degree programs in animation, game development, web development etc.
WIRED Island One is focused on immersive, virtual world training and education. We built over 20 sample experiences on the virtual island space that cover a wide range of usage. The island can be seen by the video and still images below but is best experienced as an avatar. You just won't "get it" until you experience this space in that manner. It moves from information to you choosing what you want to experience, for how long, from what angle and when. Give it a shot. It's free and we think you'll have a great experience.

WIRED Island One is a demonstration of the power of immersive education and training. It consists of more than twenty modules demonstrating immersive builds in industry, defense, education, tourism etc. You can tour the site through the attached video below or experience it as an avatar in second life. The avatars are free. If you choose to try the avatar tour you will be directed to secondlife.com through this link where you will receive a small client side viewer for your computer and an avatar (both free). Through your avatar you can walk around, see, hear and experience the island right on your computer.Click here to experience WIRED Island One through an avatar
