Name: Extension family care giving SL Project

Content:  Raising awareness in a virtual world

This 'Second Life' (SL)  project is aiming to raise public awareness of design features and assistive technology that can make it possible to remain in the home with physical or cognitive challenges due to ageing, illness or disability.

The group are doing this by building a simple prototype home featuring universal design features and assistive technology devices to help provide guidance to builders within the Second Life® environment. The next step will be to sponsor a design competition in the virtual world. This design competition is for an accessible housing design to include assistive technology.
