Goldie the Memory Avatar

Unfortunately I was able to build my recreational room in SL I couldn't get the program to run long to build anything. This was extremely fustrating because I tried with my mac and my pc and neither were strong enough to run the program. I hoping to try later in the week when my projects are done because I found some interesting things that I would like to try out.

Anyways my memory avatar is based on my Grandmother who as you know has alzheimer's. The prototype of her family room and the function of it.
The tv actually serves as a memory bank for family events, social gatherings, vacations, personal experiences, and what I call "The Discovery Channel" which is a bank of pictures, videos, and descriptions of people in my Grandmother's life. On the memory avatar blog I created there is a more descriptive information about the use of the avatar from last class that I updated with the screen captures I created.


Even though I had a lot of difficulty with using SL, I found it useful on aiding me with my animation skills. I was able to build on how created three dimensional objects that were animated using scripts. I feel that this will help me understand flash and javascript actions a little more even though they're not exactly alike.
