Virtual Harlem Launched

The University of Central Missouri (UCM) and Pleiades opened Virtual Harlem today for use by students at UCM and the general public.

Professor Bryan Carter, who has been involved for more than ten years in various 3D modeling projects related to the Harlem Renaissance, will be using Virtual Harlem for pilot studies.

“Teaching methods will evolve to match this amazing technology,” he predicts.

Virtual Harlem was built by Pleiades, which retains an interest in any potential commercial revenues it generates.

“We are continuing to develop and expand Virtual Harlem, both within the Second Life grid and beyond,” says Project Manager Amanda Levin.
