Abstract


New and veteran users accessing Second Life for education, research and professional activities require easy access to appropriate avatar enhancements including clothing, accessories and support items such as HUDS. Prim and space limitations make delivering diverse content a challenge.
To address this challenge and support active education as a best practice a user-friendly interactive system that presents and dispenses a large set of organized content has been developed. The system is adaptable to different content sets. Current content sets include, an avatar modifier and an outfit creator, which allow students and professionals to rapidly develop and acquire a personalized appearance.
