Wow, Dennis! I don't know how I missed this...

I'm sorry! It's really fascinating, and I love the idea of there being a seeing eye dog in Second Life capable of helping someone with vision impairment find their way around a virtual landscape like that.

I know there are many other wonderful tools in Second Life created to help address all sorts of needs, but had not heard of this one.

Are you still active in Second Life? I'd love to follow this up with you further.

Hi Amy,

I am not as active on SL as I used to be. Unfortunately in most of my business relationships I seem to be decades ahead of most people I talk to, so after a while of talking to brick walls you realise they are brick walls and have to want to change to be anything else!

But back to your comment, I am happy to go on SL if you let me know when to meet I am usually available to meet on SL in the evenings, as again the company IT system isn't capable of accessing SL at lunch time (or anytime!).

I have a copy of MAX and have tried him out, it is pretty cool! I may be able to give you a copy of him if we meet up, i am not sure if he is copyable?

Cheers,

Super! I have standing appointments in SecondLife on Monday nights and Thursday mornings. This week I'm a bit slammed preparing for the launch of our Conversations for the 21st Century series (it would have been cool to host it in SL too if there was someone there who could anchor it), but next week would work for me. Let me know.
