Pixieviewer is a browser based viewer for virtual 3D environments. It is designed to run on any device (including tablets and mobile phones) which supports modern HTML5 capable browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari and others. It can either be connected to a standalone backbone called Pixiegrid as also has a (planned, in dev) connector to Opensimulator based virtual 3D worlds. Pixieviewer directly supports 3D mesh objects created with popular tools like blender etc.

"games, 3d modeling, & 3d immersive environments in education"

Includes 3d recordings!

Wings 3D offers a wide range of modeling tools, a customizable interface, support for lights and materials, and a built-in AutoUV mapping facility.

For our ongoing maths projects and our upcoming space inquiry we are using our open-sim 3D world - Pleasantville, to develop some skills and demonstrate our learning. This 3D environment is our own private learning space, which allows us to create and express in some amazing ways.

This innovative concept is extremely easy to use: just draw an outline from a background image to make a 3D textured model! Or you can use a blank view and just draw the shapes you want from scratch. It's the most intuitive approach to sketch out the shapes and enhance them with textures and photographs. Archipelis Designer does all this. Clearly, It's the easiest way to build Second Life content.

Description of how to export from Autodesk to OpenSim and Second Life.

Designing Digitally, Inc., the web-based training firm that specializes in E-learning, virtual worlds, and 3D simulations, was recently awarded a 2011 Air Force Virtual World contract from the United States Air Force Research Laboratory located in Dayton, Ohio. This means the simulation experts at Designing Digitally, Inc. will dedicate the next year to creating an OpenSim virtual world grid, called Virtual Discovery Lab (ViDL), in which high school and college students can explore these technical topics in a hands-on, educational environment.

Staff ICT trainer at an independent K-12 school who had explored Quest Atlantis, OpenSim and Second Life Teen Grid. She has just esablished virtual 3D space for their school with OpenSim + ReactionGrid.

Let-Us-Learn is an international project that aims to investigate the potential of a 3D virtual learning environment (3DVLE) designed to engage learners in collaborative, creative problem solving activities in which numeracy, literacy, life skills and creative activities are embedded in a motivating game-like environment. The general idea is make OpenSim technology into a learning environment for students in countries such as South Africa and Uganda (among others). Teaching everything from farming techniques and household economics, to multiplication tables.
