Welcome to 360 Days in Activeworlds. A project from the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University
College London. The project, formally known as 30 Days in Activeworlds, was developed to
explore and log the growth of networked virtual space. Due to demand from the
community the project has been extended to encompass 360 Days in Activeworlds, with the
extension comes a number of new features and projects which will be taking place in the
original 30 Days virtual world.
We are offering the unique opportunity for users of 360 Days in ActiveWorlds to place their real world house
or favourite building in the virtual world. By sending in photographs we will create fully
textured three dimensional models within the virtual environment. This will create a
unique insight into not only the locations and environment where our community live and
work in the real world but also an opportunity to view various architectural styles from
around the world within the virtual space. Full details are on the Shared
Architecture page.
Over the coming months member of the community will begin to notice part of London appearing in 360
Days in Activeworlds. Aimed at being one of the first true multi user virtual cities
existing on a low bandwidth network Virtual London will, using a variety of media, provide
three dimensional models of London buildings hotlinked to geographical and spatial
information. Virtual London will coexist with the exiting buildings in 360 Days and all
objects will available for use by the community. Further details are available on the Virtual London page
360 Days in Activeworlds gives you the ability the build freely in our Activeworlds
server, CVDS on the worlds list. Building privileges in '360 Days in
Activeworlds' are available to all users. When building please respect other users
properties and refrain from posting contents which some may deem unsuitable for an open
access world. All conversations and building will be logged and analysed as part of
research.
We hope to see you in 360 Days in ActiveWorlds......
Reviews of the work to date are available on the Media Page.
