"Saw this interest outdoor classroom.

It's about a new concept of trying to design information space within the VW. Interesting because it's about relating the virtual world to the real world, such that making decisions, voting, etc can take place within the VW.

I like the idea of having this football court whereby one side stands for AGREE and the other DISAGREE. Say you have to vote, you have to decide where to stand. The further you stand, the more extreme you are. The nearer to the middle line, the more likely you'll waver. Also, there is trail following your movement, which can be used to analyse you thoughts through your movement. There's a even "dwelling" object that tracks how long you stand stationary at one place, probably to analyse the time you spend pondering. Amazing! "
