Exploring Second Life(International Spaceflight Museum)












Well International Spaceflight Museum has many parts. Since I teleported there I found myself into some sort of dome shape which was like a atmosphere and I could choose different planet and go there, even in some of them I had a 360 degree view like Mars. To me the museum is good enough I mean base on the design, modeling, texturing and even in some part lighting. Everything was very well organized and everybody could have a chance to move around and see most of the stuff about spaceflight. Moreover we could have different types of interactions about that, but there is only a problem. I felt that interactions could not really satisfied visitors because they were simple, however I should say that for those kinds of interactions we should use from the technology of virtual reality in a real life to give a user a real feeling. I mean it is fine to go to spaceflight museum and have look around and get some information about different types of shuttles, new rockets and a full-size version of the Vehicle Assembly Building and also other things, but since it comes to interactions, it can’t really satisfy the user because user have to feel it in a real life to get the real experience.

Totally the museum was good enough based on the information that gave to the user which was useful enough. And one thing that I really liked about that museum was the tour guide machine. I could get a free ride and moved around the museum and visited some parts of it which was inimitable by itself rather than other museums.
