More exploration


This image from the Second Life world "DaVinci Gardens" This place is really interesting. It's like a theme park, science and art museum all in one - just like Leonardo would have created, I imagine. We flew around in what seemed like a very faithful 3D functioning rendering of one of his rotary flying machines and were treated to views of various reconstructions of architecture, an active volcano, a pirate ship and more. I felt like I was cruising around in the mind of the great renaissance polymath.

The above image is the view through a telescope in an observatory tower. It's amazing to think of what can be done with the ability to control the user's viewpoint.
