Second Life is an Internet-based 3D virtual world which enables its users, called "Residents", to interact with each other through motional avatars, providing an advanced level of a social network service combined with general aspects of a metaverse

The University of Ulster through Michael Callaghan in particular have been developing some indepth second life worlds which mirror the real world magee campus.

This project will attempt to use location based sensing technology to guide an avatar through the corresponding virtual world campus. Essentially it means taking the output from a locatio based sensing platform such as Ekahau and merging it with the Second Life API. Therefore for instance, we can have a real person walking down the top floor of the MG building and an avatar in second life doing the same thing.

The person taking on this project can concentrate on the location based aspect and work with another person who is concentrating on the second life aspect (or the person can try to do both).
