Second Life has been used as a cost-effective way to create a real-life emergency scenario (instead of costly video footage or custom 3D animation)

SL is only used to create a scenario: "Our emergency management course utilizes virtual reality scenarios that immerse professionals into real-life experiences, thus enhancing their learning experience," said Dave Livingston, chief technology officer of Brainband Technology Services. "Second Life offers a cost-effective way to present instructional scenarios rather than trying to create them through traditional movie making, custom animation or 3-D gaming."
