Second Life Library Program: Making Fiction Into Virtual Reality

Join us in the open air auditorium on Info Island on Saturday July 22 at 6 pm sl time for a fascinating program with Loypayza Moonlight, creator of Lopayzanilaya, which is designed to replicate a portion of the Celestial Court from the Aizvarya novels. She has built it exactly as the books describe ? and she should know; she is the author of the original books. She will talk about her work, her creation and offer a tour of her creation. Lopayzanilaya is the state of the Fox Spirit. The entire area is designed to replicate a portion of the Celestial Court from the Aizvarya novels. Moonlight’s avatar is an extension of this theme. She designed it to be a “Fox Maiden” from the stories, a being that would be a caretaker for the shrine. For more information on this fascinating project, check the July 11 Metaverse Messenger. What can we as librarians do to create virtual reality of literature works to engage our readers?
