THE LIVEABILITY HOUSE: EXPLORING AN IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT
Have you ever wondered what Second Life is all about and what the
possibilities might be for its use in Cooperative Extension? This
session will introduce one collaborative project currently underway:
the LiveAbility House. The LiveAbility House is a virtual home
designed to teach people about assistive technology and universal
design features that enable a person to live at home despite physical
or mental challenges caused by aging, illness, or disability. The
developers will share their vision, discuss their reasons for using
Second Life, highlight the home's capabilities, and provide a tour of
this interactive learning experience. Presenters include Deb Sellers
and Larry Havenstein-Kansas State, Sarah Kirby-North Carolina State,
and LuAnn Phillips-eXtension.
This session will be broadcast and use your computers speakers for
audio, not your phone. Audience interaction will include opportunities
to use built-in chat capabilities. Plan to join the session 5 minutes
before the starting time. The session will be held at 2:00 p.m.
