Virtual Ability Inc. operates the following locations:
Virtual Ability Island
Virtual Ability Island opened to the public in August 2008, and is the first island Virtual Ability developed. It provides the home for our new resident orientation and training, developed for people with disabilities or chronic illnesses. Here, new residents can learn Second Life fundamentals in an accessibility-friendly environment. This island was created through a partnership with the Alliance Library System.
Healthinfo Island
Healthinfo Island lies directly west of Virtual Ability Island, to which it is connected by a drawbridge. Virtual Ability, Inc. acquired Healthinfo Island from its previous owner, the Alliance Library System, in 2009.
The mission of HealthInfo Island is to provide timely, accurate, and accessible information on topics related to physical, emotional, and mental health. Information is provided through interactive displays, links to outside resources, events, and personalized assistance.
Cape Able
Cape Able island within Second Life is a haven for deaf, hard of hearing and people with disabilities. It is owned by Virtual Ability, Inc.
A serene residential island, Cape Able also houses a beautiful art gallery, which showcases exhibits of deaf and disabled artists from both real life and Second Life.
Cape Serenity
Cape Serenity is Virtual Ability’s newest residential sim. A lovely pond in the center of the island provides a place where residents or visitors can sit and relax and feed the ducks. A path circles the pond and small bridges lead to the island in the center, where people can sit to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Cape Heron
Our third residential island is the home of a special community. Forty-four small two-story connected apartments are available there at a nominal fee for the use of VAI members who do not have another virtual world home.
