[NBLUG/talk] NBLUG Tonight: Life After Second Life: Metaverse

[Zack Zatkin-Gold]

There's a computer graphics class taught at my university that uses some
private, rented region of Second Life for creating models and such as a
final project.  One of the last lectures of the semester is held directly
in Second Life in a virtual classroom and a working projector for the
instructor's slides.
