SHE: Risk Assessment
We’re working with Citrus Virtual on another simulator to support our Environmental Health students. This time it’s a risk assessment simulator, set in a boat hire premises. It will have a small workshop, LPG store and other risky goodies, together with public access for the hire of pleasure boats. Visitors will actually be able to take boat rides around both our islands and through the straits of … Hmm, haven’t thought of a name for the stretch of water between the two islands. Maybe we should have a competition!
As the risk assessment project progresses there’ll be lots of info on this blog. For now, pics below, as usual.
If you are a resident in Second Life you can teleport to our island and see these simulations first hand.
What do you need to setup simulations within Second Life?
- Internet-ready computer with a minimum graphic and processing specification of. (Please note: that Second Life can be run on most computers but obviously functions better with more powerful computers with an adequate broadband speed).
- Take a look at the system requirements and make sure your computer can run Second Life - (don't worry if the technical information appears too complicated - you can always download the software and if it doesn't work then just uninstall it)
- You will need a Second Life account and avatar.
- The ability to build content that can be used within Second Life. Specifically the re-use of an existing 'simulator engine' (or the ability to build a new one) and the ability to create new scenerios and adequately use them.
For the Simulation Engine we worked with Citrus Virtual on the design and implementation of the content.
