DOE Accelerator Tour from Eric Hackathorn on Vimeo.
Wow.
Eric Hackathorn, better known in Second Life and virtual world circles as the person behind the impressive Second Life incarnation of NOAA -- the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, has just unveiled his newest effort: The US Department of Energy in Second Life.
The educational and experiential potential of this build is exciting and mind-expanding. From a trip through a super collider to life as a sub-atomic particle. Eric suggests, "Try smashing into each other as sub-atomic particles, take a tour of a super collider." For non-Second Life users, the video above will give you a good sense of the experience.

[Ed. Note: Eric Hackathorn comments: "Credit should really go to Brandon Lynge aka Addoceo Siamendes for his incredible Second Life development skills and the good folks at the Office of the Chief Human Capital in the Department of Energy including Edwin Luevanos aka Edwin Alekseev." So noted!]

Thanks, Eric! I've added that to the post. Who did the well-shot, hi-def machinima?
You're generous with your positive review of the machinima, it doesn't even have sound yet. :-)
That said, I guess I can take credit for that one.
People underestimate the difficulty in recording non-pixelated, hi-definition, stable, lag-free motion video in virtual worlds. I think you did a great job, audio or not.
