Touring educational sims using Open Sim and hosted on the Reaction Grid.
UniSA has an accessibility project here and behind the scenes. Something to watch for sure!

Visit us on Reaction Grid. Create an account on reactiongrid.com, then download the Hippo OpenSim viewer and point it at Reaction Grid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pgZyjKQT3Q )
