  1. Announcement Introduction to  NEXT TUESDAY (25th November) and THURSDAY Second Life (27th November) we will have invited speakers in CL1:  Tuesday 25th: “ Cookie Monsters, star fish and Computer Literacy1 Lecture 27 glowing pumpkins: the bizarre world of learning in Second Life ” a talk by Judy Robertson and 20/11/2008 Nicole Cargill-Kipar NOTE: ROOM CHANGE FOR ABOVE TALK!!! We will be in AT Lecture Theater 5 !!!!  Thursday 28th: “ Ph@ttsessionz ” a talk by Christoph Draxler Topics Second Life Introduction  Second Life (SL)  Released on 23 June 2003  Client  Created by Linden Labs  Virtual Reality  Second Life is the name of the virtual world  Avatars they created online  Technology used for Second Life  To interact with this world the user needs to  Second Life at Universities download a client program: Second Life Viewer 1

  2. Client program What is Second Life?  A client program allows you to access a  It’s a social network remote service to a server  A very advanced social network  Web browsers for example are clients  And its also a metaverse = virtual world  Online chats are using clients e.g. Skype  Metaverse implies that the virtual world appears as an urban environment to its user  Second Life is said to be currently the only three-dimensional virtual world Virtual Reality Second Life Terms  Virtual reality allows the user to interact with  Resident: a computer simulated environment  Every user of Second Life is a resident  Currently most virtual experiences are made  Avatar: visually, only a few can add sound or other  The basic avatar is of human appearance, in the sensory information beginning of SL one default appearance looked  Where is it used? cat- or fox-like (neko avatar)  Computer games, surgery simulation in medicine,  Linden Dollars (L$): phobia treatment in therapy, etc.  Is the name of currency in SL 2

  3. Second Life Terms Avatars  Real Estate:  With a basic account you have limited  You can buy, own and sell land in SL. To do so you need a resources to edit your avatar Premium account costing about $10. SL provides you with  As soon as you have a Premium account and 512m 2 of land some L$ you can buy skins, hair, eyes,  Tier (Land Use Fee): clothes, just everything you want  To own more land you have to pay Land Use Fee called Tier since Linden charges you in monthly rates  Or program your own avatar  Teen Second Life:  Since Second Life is restricted to users over 18. TSL was created for users age 13 - 18 Female Neko Avatar http://secondlife.com/whatis/avatar.php What can Avatars do? What else?  They can communicate with each other!  Avatars can teleport to any place in SL as long as they have coordinates  They can use chat or instant messaging (IM)  They can walk in any direction  Chatting is used in public places or everywhere were more avatars are coming together  They can also fly  IM is usually used for private conversations  They can also for example work between two avatars or an object and an avatar  Actually they can do everything what their  For chatting you must be in close range, for alter ego in the First Life can do and a bit IM that’s not necessary more…  You can decide if you want to type or speak 3

  4. Difference between Avatars in a virtual world and AI AI in SL  An avatar in second life a character or virtual  Rensselaer University is testing AI in SL representation of a player her in SL  At the moment they have an AI in SL who is resembled by a child avatar since “Edd” behaves similar to a child that  Hence the avatar is controlled by its player and acts age on its player's commands without learning anything  Example for false belief: since it is not programmed that way http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/research/rair/asc_rca/2007  While an AI agent would evolve independently from 0810.SL.Cog.FalseBelief.Failure.mov a player and learn from its own experiences made in  Article: SL http://news.rpi.edu/update.do?artcenterkey=2410&s http://www.itnews.com.au/News/72057,childlike- etappvar=page(1) intelligence-created-in-second-life.aspx Technology of Second Life More Technology  Viewers for main OS (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux)  Every item in SL is referred to as an asset  Soon there will be Second Life mobile (having a  Each asset is referenced with a universally unique limited numbers or areas) identifier  Each area in Second Life is stored on a single core  All assets are stored in their own dedicated MySQL of a multi-core server server farm (collection of servers)  Software used is Debian  Each server instance runs a physics simulation to manage the collisions and interactions of all objects  A multipurpose OS that can be used as a server operating system and in that region  It currently includes over eighteen thousand software  For this SL uses a Havok 4 physics engine (a computer packages for eleven computer architectures program that simulates Newtonian physics models) 4

  5. Linden Lab attitude Inside Second Life  They try to use open standards technology  Second Life has 16,008,517 residents as much as possible  Most of the are in Second Life to meet friends  Meaning they use free and open source software but there are many who also run businesses such as Debian, Apache, MySQL and Squid (a  Any of these makes SL interesting for proxy server caching information)  Goal is to move everything to open standards companies and advertisement  When this move proves successful and SL is  Some countries have even embassies in SL stable (Maldives, Sweden, Estonia, etc…)  SL client and server will be released as free and open source Second Life at University of Edinburgh  http://secondlifegrid.net/  http://secondlife.com/  http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/project/i-room/ 5

  6. Key Points  Second Life is a metaverse/virtual world  It is kind of a copy of the real world  Residents/users are represented by avatars  These avatars are different to avatars/agents in AI  Edd, an AI agent in SL  SL is build from free and open source software and Linden Labs are aiming to make SL free and open source itself  SL in education and research 6
