Virtual+Reality

Virtual Worlds are online, three dimensional places that are free for anyone to join, visit, and use. Each visitor has an avatar, or character, that can explore places and events, build, and interact with 3D objects, while they communicate with others using text chat or voice.

Second Life is the most stable and reliable of any of the virtual worlds, with the most features. It’s owners, Linden Labs, Inc., are continuing to experiment with ways to extend the use of immersive reality. HCC owns land there and we use it for some courses and to showcase student projects.

InWorldz has free sandbox areas that are ideal for learning to bring in your own 3D objects.
