The US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration has done some amazingly cool builds in Second Life on their two islands Meteora and Okeanos. This US government agency has commissioned lots of innovative, interactive displays that really show the potential for virtual world education and awareness-raising — from a hurricane simulator to a live map of the US showing weather patterns to an iceberg showing the impact of climate change.
Now the NOAA is looking for input on what to do next. Head to this online survey and offer your suggestions.
