This space replicated a real life Tibetan home/complex. Within the space could be found objects native to this society and culture (furniture, tapestries, architecture, etc..). Through such detailed replication, visitors were offered a glimpse of daily life in Tibet. Avatars could walk through the spaces or spend time sitting in the rooms, observing their surroundings. There did not exist any imposed directional movement throughout the space, and each individual was left to explore the many rooms at their own pace and according to their own compass. Consequently, this space seemed to be designed to provide visitors with a personal experience, rather than a didactic interaction.
I found this space to be rather contained, unlike some of the others. Once inside, it was clear it was supposed to represent a Tibetan way of life. The space seemed rather jam-packed with the buildings and objects, but perhaps the was the point if it was a true replication. Once inside the space as well, it also completely enclosed you. The way you came in from the inside made it seem like the entrance had vanished and in that space and on the inside of the walls were landscape images that added to the effect of being in Tibet. -Julia
I found this to be the most believable recreation of a space in Second Life we have seen yet. The rooms are close and crowded, with lots of things in them - as a real person's home would be. I found it interesting that the space was easy to get lost in, despite being so small. There were numerous items for sale within the space - presumably to benefit a charity, although I could not find any information about that.
Overall, I found the Tibet area to be the most believable, and interesting, as well as the most easily navigable and leas irksome to explore.
This area was beautifully detailed in every way and related the most to how a real life Tibetan space may appear. The rooms are small and appear to replicate a home. The space was fairly open and yet still closed in. The tibetan artifacts placed all over the space looked carved and hand woven, detailed in every way. I feel I could truly experience Tibetan culture.
I particularly liked this space because its representation was interesting, and it was interactive in that, there were a lot of little things, such as artifacts to look at and inspect. Alot of things to sit on, and climb over and around, and that made visiting the space all that more interesting for me. So far I liked this space the best, and think that the other spaces should have incorporated some of the elements of interactivity that this one did. They weren't really complicated, it's just that when you put alot of things in a small space it can captivate a person because it makes the curious about what all is there.
This space was very realistic and faithful to detail in it's depiction of a Tibetan home. I do however wish it had been easier to navigate. Though there was no outlined path and one could explore wherever they wanted I found it difficult to see where I was going and maneuver. However I found this space to be one of my favorites. It was highly detailed and executed very well. It was also interesting as it was a depiction of something that in rl I would probably not get to see (and as of yet have never seen in rl).
