Photo sequence showing excerpt from performer Isabel Valverde/Butler2 Evelyn during avatar interaction with the SL virtual changing environment. Composed of 2 separated half spheres rendered with images from Portugal and New Zealand coastline and skies, the avatars can experience to be simultaneously at these geographical opposed places. This is one of multiple aspects in development for Weathering In/Com Tempo.

Generating a virtual mockup of the physical environment in Second Life®.
The project will integrate a physical and a virtual participatory environments.
In the mockup we projected possible real-time projections of people broacasted in SL along the avatars. The physical participants are represented as stick white figures. The photos of the mockup (see all at http://www.flickr.com/photos/23123386@N07/sets/72157623050463439/) do also include other aspects of the aimed interactions, such as sound wind/smoke and water. these can also be represented and be work as virtual active responses from the virtual environment to avatars movement and interaction with others and the space.
