When you get to Human Resources island, look for the red column of light and follow the little red arrows.

OLPC 3D

This page is designed to describe several experiments in the convergence of OLPC and 3D, either on the laptop itself, or in virtual worlds

Grassroots OLPC support in Second Life

As of 11/20/07, the xo now has a presence in the 3D virtual world Second Life, courtesy of the volunteer work and assistance of Semper, LLC, who donated temporary quarters on "Human Resources Island", and lent the services of some SL designers, who came up with ideas and then worked with Todd Kelsey to refine the design. Several other islands have expressed a willingness/interest in hosting copies of the XO Kiosk.

Phase 1: G1G1

Due to the limited time window of the G1G1 campaign, the design was escalated and is basically just a method of clicking through from Second Life to the www.laptopgiving.org Web site. It also includes a way for any visitor to get a free virtual OLPC t-shirt.

The "Second Life URL" is: http://slurl.com/secondlife/HumanResource%20Island/178/69/30

When you get to Human Resources island, look for the red column of light and follow the little red arrows.

Phase 2: ???

Future more interactive versions of the xo in SL are planned. More to come.
