What has been your most interesting and/or exciting moment or experience working with and through your Avatar(s)? A few weeks ago, I gave a tour to VSTE at my geology museum at the JMU sim in sl. I have also enjoyed spending time with my high school and college students in Uru, sl, and my multiplayer unity sims. The MIWoSE ( Monthly International Workshop of Science Exhibits) with the scientist in Japan. We did an international competition and scientist and educators in North America beat their counterparts in Asia and Europe with a score of 305 to 225. Approximately how much time each week do you spend working and playing in virtual worlds with your Avatar(s)? Probably about an hour a day mostly attending ISTE, VP, and VSTE meetings. But it is fun hanging out with friends on sl, too. Tell us about the future plans for "You and your Avatar(s)"? My latest accomplish is Voxel editing in Unity3d. In a separate article in this issue of VEJ, I discuss how you can do virtual mining. I am active in Unity 3D. I am working with my students to create virtual worlds in Unity 3D, and we hope to release that on the web, android, and IOS soon.
