London Eye on SL Cancer-Fighting Fundraiser
Second Life resident Tao Takashi has posted some nice screenshots on his blog of a replica of the London Eye that’s being built in Second Life by resident Timeless Prototype for the American Cancer Society’s Second Life Relay for Life fundraiser, scheduled for July 22-23. (There’s a video too.) Last year’s relay did really well and was a great time, to boot, and this year’s event is planned to be even larger. I’ve been on the real London Eye, and it’s a nice way to see the town from on high (very high). Should be a nice way to see SL as well, though processing power will prevent any but the most uber computers from really taking advantage of long draw distances. (What’s also cool about this image is that I discovered it while checking in with the 3pointD group on Flickr, which I started a while back and which is open for anyone to contribute to. Keep ‘em coming!) We’ll be interviewing the people in charge of organizing the SLRFL event on an upcoming episode of SecondCast, as well, so stay tuned for that. [Whoops, I unfortunately posted a draft of this post instead of the final version that was in my Word doc. Sorry for the amendment.]

As a former London Eye drone, all I can say is rock on.
[…] This year’s Second Life RLF theme is countries that make up the biggest percentages of the Second Life community. Make sure you check out Barnesworth Anubis’ Taj Mahal for India, Aimee Weber’s Brazilian rainforest (Aimee has worked tirelessly to keep the multi-part build effort moving forward, so a big thank you there), and Timeless Prototype’s London Eye (earlier highlighted on 3pointD) […]
