BOINC servers on the Virtus region

BOINC - Region : Virtus

Residents and visitors of the virtual world will find on the Virtus region some 3D representations of servers (see image) displaying real time information from the Open Source BOINC grid computing clients installed on each New World Grid server, which resources are not used when no visitor is connected. These computers and servers are working for volunteer grid computing projects such as “fightAids@home”,  “Human Proteome Folding” or “Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy”. The project is being run in collaboration with the “Citizen Cyberscience Centre” on the New World Grid.

OpenVCE.net

OpenVCE is a community project led by the Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute (AIAI) within the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. It provides open source and freely accessible facilities to support collaboration in a community, linking a web-based Community Portal with a virtual-world based 3D Space. The project has 2 regions, NewVue and NewVCE that can be visited in-world.

Virtual Mount Grace Priory : Education, History

mountgrace

MOUNT GRACE PRIORY, Nord Yorkshire, England

You can visit the Mount Grace virtual spaces on the regions named Mount Grace in-world.

You can read monthly news about the project in our newsletters.

“On 4 adjacent regions in New World, we are building Mount Grace and its immediate environment. This is thanks to the generosity of the French Non Profit Organization ‘Virtus’, which promotes arts and educational projects. The priory was established in 1398 as part of a wide and thriving European network of Carthusian monasteries famed for their austere style of spritual life, their commitment to the preservation of literature at a time when few people could read, and their hospitality to travellers: an interesting mixture! It was disestablished in 1539 by agents of King Henry VIII of england, as part of his greed, his jealousy, and his quarrel with Rome.

Please note. This venture in educational simulation has no formal links with any of the bodies that care for the RL site,
although informal links are being developed.”

Physics – Physics and Chemicals in 3D

physics
“Vous êtes tous les bienvenus dans la région physics. La physique et la chimie sont des passions et j’aimerais les partager avec vous. Je vous propose de vous divertir en vous cultivant tout en flanant dans un décor ou chaque détail à son importance. Vous avez le choix entre vous promener librement ou suivre un parcours avec téléportation que je vous ai préparé. Si vous  choisissez le mode jeu de piste, un formulaire est à récupérer dans la tour de Pise à compléter et à remettre dans ma boite aux lettres en fin de parcours. Il faudra vous téléporter au point suivant pour trouver des indices supplémentaires et compléter sans faiblir le document. Vous pouvez laisser des messages sur des tableaux poser des questions auxquelles je me ferais un plaisir de répondre. Préparer votre lecteur média video, lecteur de sons, des divertissements vous attendent. Vous pouvez toucher à tout ! ” (Aime Socrates)

“You are all welcome to the Physics region. Physics and chemistry are passions and I would like to share them with you. I suggest to entertain and cultivate you while strolling in a setting where every detail has its  importance. You have the choice between walking around freely or following a teleportation path that I’ve prepared for you. If you choose the treasure hunt mode, a form can be collected in the Pisa tower to be completed  and dropped in my mailbox in the end of the tour. You will have to teleport yourself to the next point to find more clues and to complete the document without weakening. You can leave messages on bulletin boards asking  questions that I will be happy to answer. Prepare your video media player, sound player, entertainments are waiting for you. You can touch everything!” (Aime Socrates)

The Physics region takes advantage of the NINJA Physics technology (Networked INteractive Jointed Assemblies) developped by Nlin. Beyond actual LSL  implementations (Linden Scripting Language), this technology allows to simulate more complex interactions between physical objets linked by joints, and to create simulations closer to reality.
