Researchers at the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine spent six years developing a computerized system, called Caveman, that produces larger-than-life 4D images of the human body. The system can show how the passage of time--the fourth dimension--affects the body systems being studied. Shown here is Christoph Sensen, director of the medical school's Sun Center of Excellence for Visual Genomics, with an image projected in the "Cave," Caveman's viewing booth.
In 1994 I started a project called Aggiornamento, literally meaning "bringing up to date," It also embodies a spirit of change,openness,open-mindedness and modernity.The purpose of the project was to describe the opportunities of the World Wide Web for education. This blog informed you on my experiences as an observant participator in Second Life. Since I ve finished my report on SL I have decided to continue on writing about educational initiatives that inspire me.

Terminus 128/109/34

A small group of SL Avatars has started developing a simple and functioning ecosystem within the possibilities of SL. At this moment it is not more than a group of islands with some 'vegetation'. But that isn't how it started millions of years ago in RL. I wonder how long it will take to develop the first mammal? And what is that big grey thing above it, will we have an extraSLestrial landing soon?

Commonwealth Island 192/84/316

I am sitting on a platform, with a huge box around me with the earth picture textured around me. To understand what you see I quote the builders of this: The GeoGlobe takes feeds as input and displays them as <..> headlines. These are then placed with colored dots onto the appropriate place in the world where the news is happening. Zooming in close to the dot will display the headline appropriate for that location.
