Believe it or not, the trick of using the wireless connection in my dorm instead of the Ethernet actually works! I was able to get on Second Life again today with no problems, so I finished the next version of the room set up, and also bought a lot of lab equipment (beakers, test tubes, etc.) to put on the lab tables once I’m done with the more important stuff. I’ll post a screenshot in here to show everybody what the room now looks like.
As far as my plan for the rest of the semester goes, my main objective is to completely finish the setup and workings of the visualization room. At this point, finishing the room is completely essential, but anything else will be icing on the cake. I’m not sure how many weeks are left (6? 7?) but here’s the plan:
Week 9: Finish the basic setup of the room/Get data and start putting into all parts of the room
Week 10: Finish data and add “lacking” elements (signs, hispanic person)
Week 11: Finish elements and make any necessary modifications to the room
Week 12: Start adding extra aesthetic stuff (lab equipment, room setup)
Week 13: Make sure everything works properly, test a lot
Week 14/15: Deal with any final complications, start on extra stuff that doesn’t need to be finished this semester
That’s roughly what I want to do. I also want to make sure to move my room to the new island, but I didn’t feel like putting that in there (if anyone sees this during the meeting, if I forget, remind me to tell Dr. Polack to send me the data and invite me to the actual island).
And here’s my screenshot of the room so far:
