Second Places

By creating a virtual world you can:

• Allow the audience to virtually tour cities and its attractions wherever they are in world, encouraging them to visit for real.
• Host online events allowing your organisation to attract a global audience.
• Tell the story behind the picture by creating a simulation of past events which the audience can participate in.

See below some examples of how companies with similar objectives have used virtual world technology:

Virtual Tour

Create tours where students can follow, or head off on their own.  Visit locations that no longer exist, experience sights and sounds no longer found.  This example is a guided tour of Aberdeen's Marischal College.

Formerly the seat of the ancient Marischal College and University of Aberdeen founded in 1593, the building was retained by the unified University of Aberdeen following its creation in 1860 by the merger of Marischal College and King's College, a university founded in 1495 in Old Aberdeen to the north of the modern Aberdeen city centre. The buildings of Marischal College continued to be used for general university purposes until recent times and were significantly rebuilt and expanded upon throughout this period. The construction of the modern college building began in 1835 and took its present form in the early part of the 20th century, following the demolition of previous buildings on the site. It is the second largest granite building in the world.

Linlithgow Palace circa 1564

The ruins of Linlithgow Palace are situated in the town of Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland, 15 miles (24 km) west of Edinburgh. The palace was one of the principal residences of the monarchs of Scotland in the 15th and 16th centuries. Although maintained after Scotland's monarchs left for England in 1603, the palace was little used, and was burned out in 1746. It is now a visitor attraction in the care of Historic Scotland.

This is how Second Places think it would have looked around the time of a visit of Mary, Queen of Scots in around 1564.
