A lot of video of the video Digital Nation centered on the virtual world. Companies had entire meetings in a social game where they never had to leave their office or home. I plan to make a statement or parody about this idea. Imagine going to school and sitting in a classroom while your already at school in that same classroom.
A large portion of interaction is lost when you see a digital representation of someone you're talking to. A large portion of the internet is a flaming mass of such human interaction where basic courtesies break down and name calling comes at the drop of a hat. Actions are so easy to hide behind when you're 200 miles away behind a computer screen.
The plan (very tentative) is to construct a portion or all of Ovalwood. It will be a very crude representation of a physical space everyone in class is very familiar with and allow them to explore an area they're in while already present at that specific location. They could sit in their chair both virtually and physically. It will be displayed in a virtual game world where the viewer can move around, and possibly destroy things, as they please.
