It was my most memorable virtual presentation as my avatar was June Jetson and I made a flying entrance into the auditorium to the tune of the Jetson’s theme song. Before the session, I spent some time reviewing Museum Facebook Pages – luckily the MIDEA project has them organized into this handy list. I struck out.

In January, I interviewed Sibley about the potential use of virtual worlds and Second Life by museums, but in the four months since then, the virtual world platform--and the hype around it--has exploded. It seems that Second Life is both the closest and farthest thing from many museum professionals' minds.

Every time a colleague tells me her museum has just hired a "community person," a part of me cringes. While subsequent museum staff have kept the project going, the community had connected with me as the focal point, and there has not been a new person who has been able to comparably rally the community to high levels of activity.

I've become convinced that successful paths to participation in museums start with self-identification. The easiest way to do that is to acknowledge their uniqueness and validate their ability to connect with the museum on their own terms. Who is the "me" in the museum experience? Not so at museums.

Six worlds, avatars, lots of chat and even then screens receiving video for. web geeks and cardboard cutout avatars. Maybe for nonprofits, it is in the marketing area, where taking people into your world makes sense or for museums. There is an egalitarian equalizing effect when your avatar IMs with another ???

Virtual worlds are a communication medium in which people use avatars (animated characters) to interact and have shared experiences in a 3D environment. Most museums already have websites. I’m not an expert on museums who can comment on why museums have websites and what they use that platform for.

But over the last couple of months, I've learned about two tagging projects that actually get me excited-- CamClickr at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Posse at the Brooklyn Museum. When museums embark on collections-tagging projects, they are almost entirely focused on this secondary benefit. And that brings us to CamClickr.

There have now been a couple comments on this blog to the effect of: "Visitors already create content in museums through their thoughts and social interactions." The most immediate place to start sharing is with the people with whom you came to the museum. Give people tools to interact socially while in the museum. Great point.

Here's a problem many museums would like to solve: How do you design an intuitive way to give visitors unique IDs so that visitors can receive personalized content and feedback and institutions can receive real-time data tracking on visitor behavior? It's not a new problem. Define the core technology that aligns to your mission.

It's Labor Day, and across the country, a working dichotomy is manifest in museums. For mostly practical reasons, museum staff offices have shifted over the last couple decades further and further from the public. Arguably, much of what happens behind the scenes at museums has little bearing on the visitor experience and vice versa.

I have a friend with a GPS-enabled running watch that tracks his path, and then shows a little animation of an avatar representing him on his last run to "race" the same trail. How could museums be part of this? There are lots of science museums with exhibits that provide simulations of exactly these phenomena.

The tool strips narrative game-making down to its fundamentals — a room, an avatar, dialogue, all rendered in 8-bit pixel art. The first shows the room you’re working on; the second is for designing an avatar, items, and the tiles themselves; the third lets you choose colors. This tiny little thing unlocked some creativity.”.

It’s designed to create virtual live avatars of you and your colleagues to help people better engage with meetings.
