Explore the new frontier of virtual worlds in Second Life - Penn State
Big and blue, the motorcycle hints at speed, daring and adventure -- but only imagination powers this bike. Imagination drives much on ISTania, too, the College of Information Science and Technology's (IST) island in the virtual world of Second Life. Like the motorcycle, ISTania bears some resemblance to the real world, known in Second -Life parlance as ''First Life'': People can find the Nittany Lion logo, a Cybertorium-like space, the cafe at the Penn State Berks campus and IST contests including ''Build Your Own Motorcycle.'' Some of the inhabitants of ISTania may look familiar, too, as some IST students and faculty members have created their avatars or virtual selves in their own image.
