Step 1 of 3: Safety procedures survey

Dear friend,

ensuring safety requires reducing the risk of incidents, faults and failures that can disrupt normal operations. I am working on my master thesis which focuses on virtual worlds (Second Life) and how virtual worlds can be useful to our real world. My advisor at Molde University College is Dr. Judith Molka-Danielsen who designed the Building-B model in Second Life. Safety procedures simulation of building B at Molde University College (Norway) represents a tool to prove that virtual worlds are new information technology phenomenon to make world better and safer place to live.



Please take this general safety procedures survey to let me get clear picture regarding this topic. It will not take more than 10 minutes of your time.
Thank you.

Take the survey here.

Step 2 of 3: Second Life Trial

Building B at Molde University College on fire! Of course not in real. Only in virtual world called Second Life.



If you know Second Life, please try out my trial, which provides you with evacuation simulation building B at Molde University College in Norway simulated in Second Life.

If you don't have Second Life and you would like to try this, you can download Second Life from www.secondlife.com, create a new avatar for yourself and visit this location.

One trial as an example:
