The Grove Thoughts from and for The Grove Worldwide Network

Is it possible to experience panoramic visualization without actually participating in a meeting that is graphically facilitated? We’re coming close in The Grove’s new Learning Center in Second Life. For about a year we’ve have been experimenting with how much of The Grove’s work we can portray in this interesting virtual world. We own an island there, called “The Grove.” Just click this SLURL and it will direct you. If you get lost search for “The Grove” under “Places.” Maps on the pier where you land at The Grove have clickable teleports, including up to the Learning Center, shown here.

Demonstration and exploration of how to guide Visual Planning meetings on web conferences using interactive visualization on tablet PCs and templates.
