Visit with Aura Lily

August 22nd, 2006 by dmirliss

Snapshot_373I finally got a chance to visit Aura Lily’s ancient Egypt sim in Second Life.  Pathfinder sent a link to the SLED listserve awhile back but I got busy and forgot about it until tonight when I was preparing a presentation on Virtual Worlds for tomorrow.  It was a real treat to meet Aura - she took me on an extensive tour of the space including a throne and secret tomb complete with a mummy.  It is such a wonderful experience and the work that was done on this project is absolutely incredibly.  I do not want to blog too much about it since I would like ot return for a slatenight interview.

You can see more photos as a well as a more complete description of the site on Pathfinder’s Flickr account.  Here is a little blurb from Pathfinder’s visit:

Aura’s work is simply amazing, and I think the educational potential to use Second Life as an immersive way to explore ancient architecture and culture is limitless. She has no formal training in 3d modeling, yet she has a true passion for this ancient era and has done all of this work completely on her own. Simply incredible. Visit her amazing space in Second Life and experience it firsthand!

Be sure to visit her gift shop as well.  I am going to save some lindens for a purchase when I return :)

    […] This week and next is the NMC’s Symposium on Impact of Digital Media and the Slatenight team has been asked to participate.  As part of our program Anya (Angela Thomas) will give a talk on identity that will be followed by a fashion show with a twist.  Instead of highlighting the latest fashions we hope to be able to recruit members of the SL community to showcase their unique identities.  I have already approached Aura Lily and Blaze Columbia but don’t be surprised if I call on you!  Just for fun - here I am in my Halloween costume purchased at Material Squirel.  Bookmark to:          […]
