intro course with helper signs would make that easier. It does not need to be much but how to walk and get around, maybe with a few tips on how to search for things. After all, there is a lot to see and if you don't know where to go or how to look for places to go this becomes more of a pain than a resolution.
Alcyan: Does Second Life break Real Life barriers and can we have some examples of such?
Jim: Yes, I believe it does. I return to blind people. In real life they do not get around much but in here can go anywhere and meet anyone.
And those they meet would have no idea they are blind.
The same is tru for those wheelchair bound. In RL some will shy away for a lack of understanding. Yet, in SL, that is not a problem.
AND it is just as easy to have an avatar that looks normal run by someone with a disability and no one would ever know!
Alcyan: What are your closing comments about SL and VA?
Jim: VA and SL have been a means to learn and get motivated. I do more in RL as a result of some of those I meet in SL. I am inspired by some of the people and the situations they deal with. It makes me feel that I can do more, especially when they are doing more and have a difficult situation.
I've learned a lot and grown even more.
SL and VA have opened my eyes in many ways.
