the El Cerrito Project

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

This overall mission of this project is to recreate El Cerrito (a much-studied Spanish village in New Mexico) using three different approaches. These approaches include Google Earth, Second Life, and Unity 3-D. The major goal for all three technologies is to create an immersive, interactive environment giving students a "field-school" experience without ever leaving their desk.

This blog will concentrate on my experiences of building El Cerrito in Second Life. While I am not a stranger to the Second Life environment, I do have very limited skills going into this project. I am not a graphic designer, an artist, an architect or a coder. I have more of a "jack of all trades" skills set. I started this project in Google Earth, and I am curious how the two experiences will compare.
