3D OLIVEs, or On-Line Immersive Virtual Environments, are virtual spaces in which humans can interact in real-time through the use of an advanced avatar, developing a tangible sense of presence. These 'environments' can be used for education and business, but are personal social networking sites at their core. During this presentation participants will be introduced to 3D OLIVEs using Second Life, the oldest and most popular of the current software environments available today. Participants will view a Prezi presentation on the basics of Second Life, then be taken on a live in-world tour guided by veterans Harleydoc and Crystal Outlander, with visits to a variety of venues.
