I work at the University of Ulster. Some colleagues of mine have built a SL site displaying information related to physical memorials to the recent conflict in Northern Ireland: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ulster INCORE/116/128/21 One feature of the site is that avatars are able to control a Google Map to obtain information and 3D models. There are further details here: http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/secondlife/index.html If anyone has an interest in the topic, or the technology, please feel free to visit the site and perhaps provide feedback. Thank you for your time, Thomas Ovis
