This week we opened the simulator to wider student access . The groups had about twelve in each and all came from level three Software Development courses here at Bromley. As you can see from the screen shot, they have been really busy and with surprisingly little in the way of tuition from ourselves. The simulator is available to them both within and from outside the college and there has certainly been a good deal in the way of out of hours activity going on. At the present time the main purpose is in testing the system, how many avatars will it support, what is the performance like, are there any access issues. So far the answer to all these questions seems to be that OpenSim, which is still in Alpha by the way, is holding up really well. Please stay in touch for further postings as we take the project forward.
