Seeing in Second LIfe

Ethelred, Ozma, and I myself spoke at the Nonprofit Commons Friday Meeting to encourage different orgs to sponsor Common Ground each week. It is a great setting for groups to share their mission and what real world impact they have outside of Second Life.
Then we had an amazing guest, the first blind avatar in SL! The folks from Virtual Ability were there to explain the tech to assist the blind in Second Life with a seeing eye dog. It was inspiring and thrilling!

Virtual Ability Island

After the NPC Friday meeting, we got a tour of the new Virtual Ability Island. Their mission is to enable people with a wide range of disabilities to enter into virtual worlds like Second Life, and provide them with a supporting environment once there. It is an amazing build and very impressive instructions for those new to Second Life. It was a delight and inspiring!
