Celebrating One Year with the VWEC in OpenSim!

Join us on November 14th at 10:00 AM (Grid Time) for the VWEC Hypergrid Tour as we celebrate VWEC’s first anniversary—Coney Island style!

Step into New York’s iconic playground with Kimm Starr's Virtual Vignette Tour of Coney Island Amusement Park. For decades, Coney Island was the go-to escape for New Yorkers, and now, you can explore it in OpenSim! While still a work in progress, Kimm will share valuable insights, tips, free and paid for resources for creating immersive, historical builds that can enrich virtual education.

This tour is more than a history lesson—it’s about making history come alive! Using Google Earth for precise mapping, Kimm has recreated iconic Coney Island landmarks at scale to offer a true 3D journey into the past.
You’ll also get an exclusive preview of the new and exciting animesh programming kit, The Animaster, a true game changer in education and then some. The brain child of Cooper Swizzle, Carla Kincaid-Yoshikawa and Christine Nyn of Nynja Custom Scripts.

After the tour, stick around as Rosa Alekseev spins your favorite hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
