WHAT: The role of surface (touch) input devices in Immersive Education [MEETING]
WHEN: FRIDAY MARCH 28, 2008 from 1-2pm EST
WHERE: Second Life (Greenbush: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Greenbush/101/86/29)

.:: join the Immersive Education Second Life GROUP for in-world event  ::.
.:: invitations (see http://immersiveeducation.org/events/#join_group) ::.

Join us in Greenbush Auditorium http://slurl.com/secondlife/Greenbush/101/86/29
   to discuss the role of surface (touch) devices in Immersive Education. Surface
input, recently popularized by the Apple iPhone, gives users a natural way to
interact with digital content through touch and gestures. Surface input devices
have the potential to significantly enhance virtual learning experiences. During
this meeting the extent to which surface devices should be explicitly supported
by Immersive Education standards will be discussed.

Special guest Rich White (Greenbush Education Service Center) will demonstrate
how Edusim uses surface devices to create touch-powered 3D virtual world
classrooms that students and teachers interact with directly through an
interactive whiteboard that is projected onto a wall or screen.

See Meeting Materials at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/events/ for an details
and videos related to this in-world meeting.

This meeting starts at 1pm EST (10am pacific / Second Life time) and ends at
2pm, with additional time beyond that allocated to questions and further discussion.
