Muscle Island

by Ronald Genswaider

Island Design in Second Life, 2007
[Concept, Lead Designer]

A presentation platform on an island in Second Life showing research projects related to a scientific network of excellence. The main idea was to create a three-dimensional map by analyzing the textual descriptions of each project. The more two projects are related to each other the closer they are located. The "content" can be observed in two ways. On the one hand people can fly through a complex of interconnected cubes. On the other hand shortcuts can be touched in order to be teleported to the correspondent location.

The project was made in behalf of the EC3 and the Muscle Network of Excellence.
