Army Family Support Center Opens in a Virtual Reality World

Wednesday, 03 February 2010

Springfield, Virginia 2/3/2010

The Army Family Support Center provides information for families of deployed soldiers. It is built in the public ActiveWorlds virtual reality universe, and a completely free nonprofit endeavor. The Center uses the information room concept. In essence, an information room consists of virtual objects as a sign or picture and each of these, when selected, opens a webpage. The Center provides more than just simple information. Unlike a webpage, it is built in a virtual reality environment where more than one individual can participate in the experience. This enables users anywhere in the world to interact with each another, form personal relationships, share experiences, point out resources, and problem solve. Its greatest advantage is the elimination of travel and distance. The Center also provides teleports to a large number of other information rooms. The users validate resources thereby enhancing the relevancy of data presented.
