In addition, IEEE groups are encouraged to use IEEE Island and incorporate it into their work.

Some examples:</p> <p><strong>Meetings</strong> — IEEE Island has numerous locations specifically designed for gatherings of all sizes.</p> <p><strong>Lectures, presentations, events</strong> — IEEE Island has several locations where groups can hold events such as parties, live performances, and physical-world/virtual-world hybrid events.</p> <p><strong>Machinima</strong> —Machinimatography is the process of creating videos within a virtual environment. In Second Life, controllable sets, actors, lighting, objects, etc., offer a powerful creative environment in which to create video content.</p> <p><strong>Live content display</strong> — With some limitations, Web pages can be displayed with full interactivity in Second Life. This opens the possibility of an alternative interface for a large Web site, with Web changes automatically reflected.</p> <p><strong>3D data visualization</strong> — Complex data might best be rendered in 3D. An avatar could literally walk through a representation of data, perceiving inter-relationships and patterns that would be opaque in a 2D representation. Second Life offers a relatively simple, flexible environment in which to experiment along these lines.</p> <p><strong>Education and tutorials</strong> — A building can be designed to walk a visitor through a specific learning process, with choices and various outcomes—in effect, using the familiar forms and cues of architecture to structure a cumulative learning experience. </p> <p><img src="/web/20151019104131im_/https://www.ieee.org/ucm/groups/public/@ieee/@web/@org/@voluntr/@tab/documents/images/42073041.jpg" alt="secondlife smalltheater" title="secondlife smalltheater"/></p> </div> <div class="clearit"> </div> <script language="javascript"> renderLinksListMultiColumn('[]', '1'); </script> <div class="clearit"> </div> <p><img src="/web/20151019104131im_/https://www.ieee.org/ucm/groups/public/@ieee/@web/@org/documents/webassets/img_arrow_to_top.gif" width="11" height="11" border="0" alt=""/><a href="#top">top of page</a></p> <div class="clearit"> </div> </div> <div class="box-c"> <h2 class="bullet"><a class="nm" id="sect3" name="sect3">Create a Second Life account</a></h2> <div> <p>To take advantage of this IEEE resource, you will first need to create a Second Life account.
